Watching @BishopNaomi give a webinar on the American Indian Library Association's Youth Literature Awards. AILA President Cindy Hohl introduced Naomi, and then we're off! Will tweet as I can.
Great start from Naomi! She begins by showing a map of Native Nations in AZ. My guess is many ppl in the webinar know that Native ppl are still here but some don't, and it is helpful to show this sort of map.
Ah! Next slide is Sarah Park Dahlen's infographic!

In the last webinar I saw Naomi do, she reflected on the body of books selected for AILA awards in the past. She poses great questions about them, patterns over time, etc.
