Literature featuring indigenous authors from the Americas and Pacific. Fiction from across all genres by First Nations of Canada and the US, Māori, Aboriginal Australian, Samoan, Hawaiian, Papua New Guinean and other Pacific Island indigenous peoples. Any and all recommendations are more than welcome! Thank you 💜

many LOVE to claim that canada is a tolerant country, way less hateful than our southern neighbours of the united states. that couldn't be further from the truth. since the beginning of colonization of turtle island, white settlers have done everything in their power to destroy not only indigenous culture, but black and brown cultures as well. indigenous people are calling us not only to refuse to celebrate the holiday, but to decolonize our minds and do the work

Texts that teachers at Texas Tech have been warned not to teach

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.

Nonfiction books with personal narratives about survivorhood.

I believe you. You are not alone.

Horrors and thrillers set in winter (21st December to 20th March, but I will count earlier December as winter too to make things easier) or in a really cold place that reminds of wintertime.

The list will contain both more known books that you've probably already been recommended and some that I've seen have had less attention, at least over here. I have not read them all, but I want to complete this list myself too during the next Christmasses.

These are books by indigenous authors from around the globe. Mind you, this list is created by a white / European person, so please always also seek out recommendations from indigenous creators. List in progress, recommendations very welcome!

I'm coming at this from a Canadian Metis point of view and I welcome other suggestions for the list.

Stories centering Womxn, Two Spirit folk, and Queerz+ from Turtle Island and beyond. Currently making my way through the list and would love more suggestions! Happy reading my fellow book worms :)

Celebrating Canadian authors, with an emphasis on fiction. I'm also trying to include a lot of Indigenous authors in this list! Open to suggestions.

Indigenous Canadians writing thought-provoking and inspiring work about facing down the legacy of colonialism.

read around the world is a challenge to read from every country in the world. the author could be from that country or the book could be based there (kudos if both!). for me, i try to add in as many translated books and indigenous stories when possible.

note: while horrors such as war and colonization are unavoidbale in many stories due to how people are shaped by them, i try to find stories that do not always reflect suffering.
