Dalatrass Inlin has sent shockwaves throughout Sol after announcing her interest in purchasing the trademark of the human Olympic Games, the greatest sporting event on Earth for the past three centuries.
The Olympic Games have lain dormant since the Reaper War and ensuing Reconstruction, with only cursory preparations made by various national Olympic committees seeking to revive the millennia-old tradition. In past centuries, the games attracted vast amounts of support but also graft and corruption in selection of the host nation and construction of the Olympic venues. The Inlin clan's vast treasury and Maphic-Inlin Extranet sponsorship may just be what the committees need to kickstart the revival properly.
No official response has been tendered yet to the offer made on social media, though the first skeptics such as the United North American States Olympic Committee have decried against the bid, stating that 'our [human] immaterial heritage is not for sale'.
SUMMARY: After losing his parents, a priest travels to China, where he inherits a mysterious ability that allows him to turn into a dinosaur. At first horrified by this new power, a hooker convinces him to use it to fight crime. And ninjas.
NOTES: For brevity and diversity, I did not include all the North American Native books I found, but there are plenty more - feel free to post your favorites in the comments! Most books are from indigenous authors, but not all - do your own research if you like. Not all books may be “technically” YA. I’d love to hear more suggestions of Latin American indigenous stories or Hawai’ian native stories which were difficult to find.
EDIT: This is just a random list by a random tumblr blog from 2022 - get out there and find your own books or list some in the comments if you find this list lacking.

Going to do a series of northeast us bird appreciation posts so....
Chimney Swifts!
You'd usually find unique birds in a forest, but towns and cities are these guys' forests! They dart around the tops of buildings so high in the sky and chittering so energetically!! They fly like little boomerangs! You hear their noise and look up and they are there!!
Swooping and gliding and flapping and chirping.... the life of a tiny little arrow in the sky....
