The Midnight Readers discussion

Hey everyone! so I run a bookish discord server that is ya based and my two admins and I are trying to come up with a book for our November BOTM. we want to have a book that sheds light on the Native Americans. Can anyone suggest some good ya books centered around Native American culture?

I suggested that one! It looks so good

ahhhh i have a really really good one… it’s called killers of the flower moon. this book sheds a lot of light on violence against the osage people.

oh never mind did not see the ya part… definitely still a good read though

don't know if people look at old recommendation pages but here's my favs! I'm from Canada so these are more Canada specific ☺️ the marrow thieves is a 2 book dystopian series by Cherie dimaline, first book I ever read where I felt truly seen and the first time I saw a métis character in a book. from the ashes by Jesse Thistle is a memoir about his life growing up métis and experiencing homelessness, he also has a poetry book called stars and scars which is really good. The Strangers by katherena Vermette is a book that follows various members of a Metis family but the main focus is the interconnectedness of them all. all these books are pretty heavy and have a lot of possibly triggering content so check beforehand if your going to be able to read them
