Book Lists

Books by Indigenous Women

Inspired by Sarah Hunt's rallying cry to have books by First Nations women included in the Canada Reads selections a couple of years back, this is a list of non-fiction, novels, and short fiction by Canadian First Nations and Inuit women. Tweet us any titles we're missing @49thShelf and we'll get them added. Books not in our database: My Name Is Shield Woman: A Hard Road to Healing, Vision, and Leadership by Ruth Scalp Lock
