disclaimer: I am not Indigenous myself, just someone who went looking for a list like this and found a gap. I have found the books for this list on Indigenous-run sites and online spaces, including related lists on pb.

The Great American Novel
This is the list from The Atlantic. "In 1868, a little-known writer by the name of John William DeForest proposed a new type of literature, a collective artistic project for a nation just emerging from an existential conflict: a work of fiction that accomplished “the task of painting the American soul.” It would be called the Great American Novel, and no one had written it yet, DeForest admitted. Maybe soon."
