You Were Made for this World: Celebrated Indigenous Voices Speak to Young People

Forty Indigenous contributors, including writers, artists, activists, athletes, scholars, and thinkers, provide letters and artwork in prose and poetry. The voices represent communities in the United States and Canada, including Native American and First Nations communities. Their pieces draw on language, traditional teachings, personal stories, and shared experiences. Powerful illustrations accompany letters that address cultural dignity as well as young people’s potential and dreams.
