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.

Calling all poets who can't or won't go back to school! These are books for honing our craft, compiling our collections, and sharing our work. If there's a book that's changed the way you've engaged with poetry or your own writing practice I'd love to hear about it :)

Though slightly different in concept, nature and eco poetry originate in the same place: a love for the land and those that inhabit it. Poets old and modern are welcome. As always, feel free to send recommendations my way.
