Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

Indigenous peoples are distinct groups with historical continuity in a region before colonization, who have maintained unique cultures, languages, and social systems, and are determined to preserve them. And they are in over 90 countries around the world. So there is a lot of potential in this prompt!

I might read The Yield (Australian) , and There There (North American).

I just read Sisters in the Wind by Angeline Boulley. I really liked it. It’s her third book, but it’s second chronologically. It’s set soon after Firekeeper’s Daughter and it’s about separated sisters. (You could read Warrior Girl later.)

For those who wanted a poetic book, I would recommend Heart Berries.

I'm thinking of reading Kihiani: A Memoir of Healing

So it's between Firekeeper and Warrior? Interesting! I should read that fast now that I remember who is who in the story- took me some time with Warrior Girl!

She's an excellent writer to read for the anniversary prompt of all the vowels.

Daunis (the mc in Firekeeper) isn’t the main character in this book, but she’s important. The fbi undercover agent is here too, in a different job. Her nieces are still little girls.

I loved the first book in the series, so I'm reading the second book, Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley.

This is going to be tough for me. I read a lot of Indigenous books/authors so I'm going to have to pin it down a bit in terms of who or what I want to read.

As it is I'm reading Indigenous authors this month for Native American Heritage Month. Maybe if there's one I see on my shelf, or one of the books I don't get to on this month's TBR, then I'll add it for next year.

Ron, I have chosen to read about an indigenous culture in Sweden with Stolen.

Oh nice, Bea. I had not considered reading about indigenous cultures from other countries.

Goodreads just featured this blog post for Native American Heritage Month: https://www.goodreads.com/blog/show/2...

That is why I gave you the link up top to all the UN recognized indigenous groups. Knowing me, I'll go North American, but the thought of learning about new groups I don't know about is appealing.

I'm going to read Where the Dead Sit Talking by Brandon Hobson. The author and main character are Cherokee.

I decided to go with an author of North American Indigenous descent for this prompt. I am planning on reading: The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline.

Dusting off the 1969 Pulitzer Prize winner for this one:
