In May, the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community announced plans to donate 10,000 copies of Dr. Anton Treuer’s pivotal work, “Everything You Wanted to Know Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ Indians But Were Afraid to Ask,” to Minnesota K-12 classrooms as part of its Understand Native Minnesota campaign. The campaign’s One-Read program encouraged educators across the state to “use this essential book of questions and answers for Native and non-Native young readers alike in their classrooms in November to coincide with Native American Heritage Month.” Books were distributed in classroom sets of 32; all 10,000 copies were claimed within 30 minutes, leading to a second distribution of 10,000 copies that also sold out.
