Apple (Skin to the Core) by Eric Gansworth, a tribally enrolled Onondaga living among the Tuscarora, plays off the derogatory term apple (red on the outside; white on the inside), often used in Native communities. In his memoir-in-verse, Gansworth explores the realities of growing up on the rez, being subjected to racism and poverty, and learning to navigate the white world. With intermittent Beatles references and evocative black and white art interspersed throughout, this compelling story of a life is sure to pull you in.
