She’s never met kids of other races, and they’ve never met a real Indian. Regina finds a whole new world in her neighborhood on 58th Place. Now that they’ve been forced from their homeland, Regina’s father signs the family up for the federal Indian Relocation Program and moves them to Los Angeles. But when the federal government enacts a law that says Regina’s tribe no longer exists, Regina becomes “Indian no more” overnight–even though she lives with her tribe and practices tribal customs, and even though her ancestors were Indian for countless generations. Her biggest worry is that Sasquatch may actually exist out in the forest. Regina Petit’s family has always been Umpqua, and living on the Grand Ronde Tribe’s reservation is all ten-year-old Regina has ever known. This event is a partnership with the Cottonwood School of Civics and Science. If you are a teacher, please indicate on the registration form how many students are coming. This event is intended for K-12 students, and the book is written for grade 5, but there is a lot to learn from it for all ages, K-Adult. Join us for this virtual event with Traci Sorell, the co-author of Indian No More, written with Charlene Willing McManis.
