Indigenous peoples have in common a historical continuity with a given region prior to colonization and a strong link to their lands. Most of the titles are by Indigenous and First Nations authors and/or illustrators. You'll find both stories and nonfiction, as well as some that are historical and others that are contemporary. The books range in age from 3 on up. (Updated November 2023)
