Stories have always had the power to connect us, across cultures, histories, and experiences. For September's Reading Challenge prompt, we invite you to take part in a reading challenge that honors the voices and stories of Indigenous authors. Through fiction, memoir, poetry, and traditional storytelling, these works offer powerful insights into Indigenous cultures, histories, and ways of seeing the world.
This challenge is not just about reading. It’s about listening. It’s an opportunity to engage with the knowledge, resilience, and creativity of Indigenous voices, and to reflect on the stories that have long been told, often in the face of silence or erasure.
This month's reading challenge is an opportunity to listen, learn, and engage with the depth and diversity of Indigenous storytelling. Using this list as a starting point, celebrate the voices of Indigenous writers all over North America. Filled with strength, culture and community- these books share important viewpoints and the rich histories of Indigenous cultures. Whether you’re just beginning to explore Indigenous literature or returning to voices you know and admire, we hope this challenge encourages deeper understanding and meaningful connection.
