Hello all! After recent conversation sparked by the Indigenous Peoples Day event, I have been inspired to curate some Indigenous/First Nations fiction lists to go alongside the non-fiction ones I’ve already created :)

As much as I love horror, I feel like there are plenty of Indigenous horror lists for now. The lists I’m currently planning are: • Indigenous Romance (true romances with happily ever after/happy for now endings!! I will branch out into multigenre romances later (like romantasy, romantic suspense, etc) • Indigenous SFF • Indigenous Lit Fic • Indigenous Poetry (not fiction but also in the works and open to recs!) (EDIT: I might not do this one, I forgot I have @violet.booklover’s lovely Indigenous Poetry list list saved already. Go look at this for Indigenous Poetry!) And I’m open to more suggestions! It would be really fun to do mysteries if I can find enough of them! To keep it within my realm of knowledge, these lists will consist of authors Indigenous to (the entire continent of) America.

All that said, give me your recommendations!! I will be scouring all my favorite resources and beyond, but would love to get some good community recs if anyone has them!

If you read this far, this is also your reminder that Orange Shirt Day is September 30th, Indigenous Peoples Day is October 12th, and November is National Native American Heritage Month in the US 🧡 I’m having an IndigiLit autumn 🍂
