How about a book or a collection of books on indigenous knowledge and practices? Some options include:
1. "Braiding Sweetgrass" by Robin Wall Kimmerer - a beautifully written book that blends indigenous wisdom with scientific knowledge.
2. "The Wisdom of the Native Americans" by Kent Nerburn - a collection of traditional stories and teachings from various Native American tribes.
3. "Voices of Our Ancestors: Cherokee Teachings from the Wisdom Fire" by Dhyani Ywahoo - a book that explores the spiritual teachings and ceremonies of the Cherokee people.
4. "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States" by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - a compelling and well-researched book that challenges conventional American history by highlighting the perspectives and experiences of indigenous peoples.
In addition to a book, you could also consider a handmade item that reflects indigenous culture or practices, such as a dreamcatcher or a piece of pottery. Or, if he's interested in learning more about his own ancestry, you could research and create a family tree or genealogy report for him.
Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
