With June designated in Canada as National Aboriginal History Month, I thought it incumbent upon me to create a list of picture books, both fiction and non-fiction, that honour the heritage, achievements and cultures of the Aboriginal Peoples of Canada. Although I know that I have not included all that I could, please accept this list of 65 titles as my small contribution to promoting this rich history.
