Five Star Gift Ideas

One idea for a meaningful and personal gift for your granddaughter who has an interest in indigenous knowledge and practices is a book that focuses on those topics. Here are a few options:

1. "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer - This book is a beloved exploration of the relationship between humans and the natural world through an indigenous lens. It combines science, spirituality, and personal experience.

2. "The Round House" by Louise Erdrich - This novel dives into the complexities of Native American tribal law, and how it intersects with modern justice systems. It is a captivating and thought-provoking read.

3. "Decolonizing Wealth" by Edgar Villanueva - This non-fiction book covers the subject of philanthropy, and how it can be used to support indigenous communities and empower them to reclaim their own wealth-building methods.

4. A handmade piece of indigenous artwork - If there is a particular piece of art that your granddaughter admires, you may be able to find a local artist who creates similar works to gift her.

5. A donation to a nonprofit organization that supports indigenous communities - This is a great option if you're not sure what specific item or book your granddaughter would like. Instead, you can make a donation in her name to an organization that aligns with her interests. Some excellent options include the Native American Rights Fund, First Nations Development Institute, and the American Indian College Fund.

Or you can get her a star map with an important date you share.
