The goal, said founder Kinsale Drake, is to make Indigenous girls ‘feel represented’ in the books they read.
Before she could even read, Drake said, she used to memorize excerpts from the books her parents read aloud. On her iPad’s Procreate app, she drew a sketch of a “cute Navajo girl reading,” and it stuck with her. The drawing of that girl became the logo for the new book club. The inspiration for the club goes back to Drake’s experiences and upbringing. In high school, she stumbled upon Indigenous literature — specifically, “The Round House” by Louise Erdrich — which set off a chain reaction of discovering Native authors.
