My favorite retelling of a classic white story is Anne fo West Philly. This graphic novels tells the same story but adds the background and nuances of a brown girl from west Philadelphia.

The key ideas are to choose books thatare tribally specific (that name a specific tribalnation and accurately present that nation), writtenby Native writers, set in the present day, and rele-vant all year round, keeping Native peoples visiblethroughout the school yea
This guide to picking inclusive native stories is important and can be used across all races and groups of people. It's important to choose specific stories that demonstrate and reflect authentic depictions of cultures our students may be unfamiliar with.

First, we believe all educators must reimagineschooling practices in ways that both affirm students’ knowledges, perspectives,community realities, and life goals, and critique systems of racism and inequity
I believe that this step is the first step in creating a new critical lense in classroom. Students who feel included, supported, and safe in school often feel more fulfilled. Interestingly I would argue that schools where the populations is mostly people of color allow the opposite and when the idea is presented it is fervently detested by teachers and educators.
