A book by an Indigenous Author

If anyone is interested or just curious, I have a shelf on my profile page that has books by Indigenous authors (and themes). While it's small at the moment, I'm currently in the process of adding in more.

Update:

I am currently creating a bookshelf for all of the Indigenous authors I own to make things easier.

The Daughters of the Deer by Danielle Daniel
The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters
In My Own Moccasins: A Memoir of Resilience by Helen Knott
Truth Telling: Seven Conversations about Indigenous Life in Canada by Michelle Good
Five Little Indians by Michelle Good
There, There by Tommy Orange
From the Ashes: My Story of Being Métis, Homeless, and Finding My Way by Jesse Thistle
A Mind Spread Out on the Ground by Alicia Elliott

If anyone is interested, my Indigenous Author shelf is named Decolonize Your Bookshelf.

Here are my recommendations!

Young Adult
Firekeeper’s Daughter
Warrior Girl Unearthed
Elatsoe
He Who Dreams


Novella (one of my favorite queer hockey romance novellas as a hockey fan)
Free Agent

Poetry
Poukahangatus: Poems

Graphic novel
Rabbit Chase - Nonbinary MC, Alice in wonderland retelling; middle grade
A Map to the Sun
This Place: 150 Years Retold


NonFiction/Memoir
From the Ashes: My Story of Being Métis, Homeless, and Finding My Way


I'll be reading A History of My Brief Body

Rebecca Roanhorse has a bunch of books to check out, especially if you're into Scifi and fantasy.

I read Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley. Definitely recommend but see trigger warnings.
