This is a list of non-fiction books that are meant to educate readers on the various issues faced by the indigenous peoples of Turtle Island - but focusing on the land called Canada. Feel free to give recommendations. The list will focus on learning how the Canadian government systematically committed genocide, case studies on various topics, and decolonization. There will also be a list of academic articles to read related to these topics in the comments section.

A list of books I've read by Indigenous authors (ideally about Indigenous issues or characters) in 2025. Books about Indigenous people/topics written by non-Indigenous authors aren't included here, but anthologies/co-authored books with a mixture of both Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors are included. For this list, I'm only including authors Indigenous to the Americas, Oceania, and Sápmi, although Indigenous peoples obviously exist in other parts of the world.
