Since arriving in Canada, I have tried to immerse myself in Canadian writing of all kinds, both ‘fact’ and fiction.  I often find that reading fiction rooted in place and culture gives me a fast-track to insights that may be less obvious in non-fiction.

Here is my First Nations reading list – the books I’ve read and the books I’ve heard about but not got to yet – and I’m always open to additional suggestions!
