pickAn excellent personal narrative, interwoven with a lot of info about policies and structures, both Canadian and global, and how they have impacted Indigenous people in Canada. Manuel starts in the 60s, sometimes with some flashbacks, using his own story as an activist to explain complex colonial policies and structures and creative acts of resistance.Lots that I knew snippets about hang together more clearly now.

pickI listened to this short but powerful poetry collection last night before going to bed. #Freebie #AudiblePlus 🎧 Joy Harjo is the first Native American to be honored with title US Poet Laureate. Here she invokes the hardships, violence and displacement that has marked hundreds of years of Native American history, sharing her own families plight as they were forced to walk the Trail of Tears. She also blends current US policy to the narrative 👇🏼

It's time for the #24in48 #readathon! I'm starting off by finishing up SPLIT TOOTH by #Inuk #throatsinger Tanya Tagaq. I have only about an hour left, and let me just say, this #audiobook has been a listening experience unlike any other. 💙 #nativeauthor #canadianauthor #nunavut #poetry #prose #fiction #memoir #24in48readathon #throatsinging
Picked up another book by a #nativeauthor from the library. Loving putting my energy toward indigenous peoples this month!
pickA superb debut novel, in my opinion. Orange encapsulates modern Natives in ways that are salient, and in some that others may criticize as stereotypical. The style and narratives are unique, and he incorporates devices that are simple to read, but often complex to connect and navigate as his characters converge for the climax. Must read for anyone with an interest in Native American literature. #nativelit #nativeauthor #nativeamerican #indigenous
