Twelve Native American kids present historical and contemporary laws, policies, struggles, and victories in Native life, each with a powerful refrain: We are still here!
An ideal nonfiction picture book for 7-10-year-old future activists and changemakers! An inspiring read by best-selling and award-winning Cherokee author Traci Sorell.

Precise, lyrical writing presents topics including:
- Assimilation
- Allotment
- Termination
- Relocation
- Economic Development
- Language Revival
- Sovereign Resurgence
- and more
Best-selling Cherokee author Traci Sorell has a Native rights advocacy background, and is active in both her tribal community as well as the broader Native American community. We Are Still Here!
