What a great lineup you have! I highly recommend Treuer. And I added some to my own list.

30 books! 😳 I’m making my way through braiding sweet grass on audio and ebooks and it’s wonderful although I really should invest in a physical copy.

This is a great list of books Alex. Good luck with your reading this month. I tagged you in an original tag I created in solidarity with Black Lives Matter that I hope you will consider doing. I always look to your channel as a place to find diverse reading options, and learn about indigenous authors.

I took a class and we read lots of indigenous authors' short stories and I discovered so many amazing authors. I picked up books by N. Scott Momaday, Louise Erdich, and Leslie Marmon Silko. Excited to read their longer works. Hope you have a great reading month!

I read Memory Serves by Lee Maracle last year. It was good. I especially appreciated her breakdown of how memory works in oral communities.

Braiding Sweetgrass is one of my all time favorite books! I love the way she joins her identities as a scientist, a mother, and an indigenous woman. I’m going to put a lot of these on my tbr. I’m starting a bookclub this week with 3 friends to read and discuss civil rights literature, and I would love to read and discuss more indigenous and decolonization literature with others as well.

I am 20 pages in and am already in awe of Braiding Sweetgrass! That is such a great idea for a bookclub. I'd highly recommend As We Have Always Done: Indigenous Freedom Through Radical Resistance by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson if you're looking for some thought-provoking nonfiction! :)

I just obtained "Seven Fallen Feathers" by Tanya Talaga so might look into the Five Indians book. Sounds intense.

Seven Fallen Feathers is heartbreaking, but such an important read. I haven't heard anything about Five Little Indians yet so I really don't know what to expect, but I'm looking forward to it!

Braiding Sweetgrass is a book I've been meaning to get to for a while. I've loved Leanne Betasamosake Simpson's poetry/stories collections and would love to dive into her backlist (and her new book coming out in September I believe). I just purchased Making Space for Indigenous Feminism ed. by Joyce Green and I hope to read it as soon as it arrives.
