She worked at the Association on American Indian Affairs (a civil rights organization), for over 20 years and has years of experience consulting with publishers, museums, schools, and universities. In addition to being an author, Hirschfelder is series editor of It Happened to Me, which includes 46 nonfiction books (and still counting) for teen readers and is published by Rowman & Littlefield.
