Museum Library

We removed a lot of old book titles and have been painting and cleaning our shelves this summer. We are excited to begin filling our shelves with new books and resources from contemporary Indigenous authors.

How You Can Support the Library

If you would like to support us in this process, please consider purchasing a gift card from the Native-owned bookstore, Birchbark Books, and entering teagan.harris@gichigamiin.org in the recipient email field.

Choose from Our Wish List

If you would like to select a book from our wish list, you can peruse our Bookshop.org registry, where you can have the books delivered to us directly!

We kindly request that individuals avoid donating books outside of our registry booklist, as we currently don’t have the capacity to assess titles not included in our list. Thank you in advance!

Be sure to stop by and check out our newly renovated library, where you can explore our growing collection of accurate and authentic Native-authored books.
