For the month of November, a time when the overculture persists in a false narrative of how the United States came to be, we want to share a book list of Indigenous authors, artists and visionaries. While we don’t have personal relationships with them, and it is by no means complete or comprehensive, they are among those whose work we’ve found impactful.
For a longer list of thought + feeling provoking indigenous authors, check out our latest Substack post. Link in bio.
Louise Erdrich is an enrolled citizen of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians of North Dakota, a federally recognized Ojibwe people. Erdrich is widely acclaimed as one of the most significant writers of the second wave of the Native American Renaissance.
