Discuss:
- Why is it important to learn about indigenous people and their stories?
- How did Billy stay connected to his culture, even when he was far from home?
- What is your dream and what steps can you take to reach it?
Join Kevin Sampson (Lumbee) as he presents this month’s “Book from the Nook:”
“Wings of an Eagle”
Written by: Billy Mills (Oglala Lakota) and Donna Janell Bowman
Illustrated by: S.D. Nelson (Standing Rock Sioux)
This autobiographical tale of Billy Mills’s awe-inspiring flight to a record-breaking gold medal is a soaring testament to Billy’s legacy and the Lakota prayer: we are all related.
Gather around each month as Indigenous readers share children’s stories written by Native authors. Held every third Tuesday, Book from the Nook celebrates culture, literacy and connection for young learners.
