Today, Indigenous Americans serve in the armed forces at a greater percentage than any other ethnicity. The contributions and heroism of Indigenous military personnel have aided the United States in every major conflict for the last 200 years. Readers are invited to celebrate the excellence and achievements of Indigenous American service members throughout history and today. The Racial Justice in America: Indigenous Peoples series explores the issues specific to the Indigenous communities in the United States in a comprehensive, honest, and age-appropriate way. This series was written by Indigenous historian and public scholar Heather Bruegl, a citizen of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin and a first-line descendent Stockbridge Munsee. The series was developed to reach children of all races and encourage them to approach race, diversity, and inclusion with open eyes and minds.
