Native American Book Club F.A.Q.

Was there no pick for February 2025??

No official book club pick was posted for February 2025. They did however do a February Book Giveaway, which was the book Notable Native People by Adrienne Keene. However, they have had book giveaways before in months where the book club pick was completely different.
