Gimiwan!: An English/Ojibwe Counting Book Michael Lyons CreateSpace Independent Publishing 2013 NF Children This bibliography is comprised of 301 titles, including works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama for children, young adults, and adults. Titles include books by Ojibwe/Anishinaabe authors; books on Ojibwe/Anishinaabe history, culture, folklore, and language; as well as early-reader books and series for children on subjects of regional natural interest, such as bald eagles, frogs, bears, rivers, and insects. We’ve also included some prominent Native American authors who are not Ojibwe or Anishinaabe, with the intention of incorporating works of Native American fiction and nonfiction that may resonate across tribal lines. Note that the bibliography is rather inclusive geographically of Anishinaabe tribes, including not just authors from White Earth, but from the greater Minnesota area, as well as Wisconsin, North Dakota, Michigan, and Canada. Note also that the bibliography does not consider works of general fiction, nonfiction, or poetry which may also be useful to include in the Ojibwe libraries.
The column under the heading Identification lists what Native American tribe the author or authors identify with. For example, Denise Sweet identifies as an Anishinaabe, and more specifically as a White Earth Ojibwe member, so her The following are data showing the genres of the titles included in the bibliography thus far.

*Note that many of these titles, while not exclusively written or directed toward young adults, may also be appropriate for YA readers.
If the library wishes to be geared more directly to children and young adults, apart from expanding the collection of Native American books, general children and YA literature could also be used to supplement these categories.
