Books on Native American Heritage - Now on Display

Books and eBooks on Native American history and culture are now being featured in COM library.   Swing by the library's pyramid displays on the first floor to take a look or check out these eBooks available online 24/7:



Trickster: Native American Tales, a Graphic Collection: All cultures have tales of the trickster--a crafty creature or being who uses cunning to get food, steal precious possessions, or simply cause mischief.  This beautiful anniversary edition graphic anthology brings together Native American folklore and the world of comics. In Trickster, 24 Native storytellers were paired with 24 comic artists, telling cultural tales from across America.



The Rediscovery of America: A sweeping and overdue retelling of U.S. history that recognizes that Native Americans are essential to understanding the evolution of modern America.



Native American Landmarks and Festivals: For anyone looking for an authentic adventure or interested in the history of North America's Indigenous people, this book uncovers monuments, parks, teepee sleepovers, herbal walks, building and sailing in canoes, hiking along ancient routes, exploring rock art, and preparing and eating Native foods.



For more great resources on Native American culture and heritage, visit the library's Native American History guide.  Great literature by Native American authors is explored on the Native American Literature guide.

Texas Wildflowers

This time of year wildflowers are everywhere. Of course Texas is most famous for its bluebonnets, but there are lots of varieties of wildflowers out there. Most people know that Ladybird Johnson was responsible for the Texas Wildflower Program, but not everyone knows that it continues to this day. TxDOT continues to sow wildflower seeds everywhere, beautifying the highways of Texas. Mowing is only done during this time when necessary for public safety. Great for the environment and great for the scenery! Get more information on the program , or check out the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center . To find them and see for yourself, get sighting info from Wild About Texas  Wildflower: Sightings . See some great Texas wildflower pix at Flickr .
