Birchbark Books is operated by a spirited collection of people who believe in the power of good writing, the beauty of handmade art, the strength of Native culture, and the importance of small and intimate bookstores. Our books are lovingly chosen. Our store is tended with care.

Birchbark Books has a long-standing tradition of working with schools and educators interested in Native studies and of assisting educators in meeting the new Minnesota American Indian Academic Standards. We have strong working relationships with Native educational institutions in Minnesota, including tribal schools and colleges. Our diverse selection of Native American books includes fiction, memoir, poetry, history, and cultural and language revitalization.
