June is National Indigenous History Month so it's a fabulous time to immerse yourself in Indigenous literature. To that end, GoodMinds, the First Nations family owned and operated business on the Six Nations of the Grand River, is holding a giveaway with CanLit for LittleCanadians to get a copy of We Dream Medicine Dreams into the hands of two lucky readers.
