Book selection: Indigenous literature of North America (Turtle Island)

The land we know as North America is home to more than 600 Indigenous nations speaking more than 300 languages. Boasting some of the earliest writing systems in the world, and a storytelling tradition that goes back tens of thousands of years, Indigenous nations have made invaluable contributions to world literature. In the past 75 years, native writers have been awarded multiple National Book Awards, Pulitzer Prizes, and Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellowships. Join us as we discuss historic and contemporary trends and choose our next read!
