Traci Sorell’s children’s books tackle real issues facing Native American communities through stories written for young readers. Indian No More (2019), co-authored with Charlene Willing McManis, is based on McManis’s family history and tells the story of a girl whose tribe is terminated by the federal government in the 1950s, forcing her family to leave their Oregon reservation for the city. The book has won multiple awards and has also been among the titles challenged in school districts across the country.
One Land, Many Nations (2021) is a nonfiction work that explains tribal sovereignty and the relationship between the US government and the more than 570 tribal nations within its borders. Mascot (2023), co-authored with Charles Waters, is a novel-in-verse about a Native American boy who pushes back when his school adopts a Native mascot. Across all three books, Sorell writes about identity, belonging, and the ongoing political realities that shape the lives of Indigenous young people today.
