Native American Heritage From Our Rare Book Collection

November is Native American Heritage Month. This commemorative month aims to provide a platform for Native people in the United States to share their culture, traditions, music, crafts, dance, and ways and concepts of life. The books selected for this display feature chapters from books covering the history of the Native American people. These selections were pulled from the A. S. Salley Rare Book Collection, housed here at the South Carolina State Library.
