If You Liked Kaya, Try...

 

If you enjoyed reading about Kaya, the American Girl character from the Nimiipuu tribe in 1764, you might be interested in some of these titles about other Native Americans (tribal names are noted when applicable) both past and present. There's also one title about Appaloosa horses, which feature in the Kaya stories, and a few other people whose stories include interactions with Native American tribes.
