Today is the National Day For Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. One way to acknowledge the horrible crimes Canada has committed against Indigenous people in the form of residential schools is to learn more and to support Indigenous authors' books about it. Be sure to follow Indigenous people on social media and support their works directly. I'm working on a longer resource list, but in the meantime, these are some of the books you can grab. -Sugar Falls: A Residential School Story by David Alexander Robertson, art by Scott B. Henderson -Phyllis's Orange Shirt by Phyllis Webstad, art by Brock Nicol -Speaking Our Truth: A Journey of Reconciliation by Monique Gray Smith -Fatty Legs: A True Story by Christy Jordan-Fenton and Margaret Pokiak-Fenton, art by Liz Amini-Holmes #orangeshirtday #truthandreconciliation #residentialschools #indigenousreads #indigenousliterature #reading #books #booksofinsta #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #nonfictionbooks #comics #picturebook#kidlit https://www.instagram.com/p/CUdv2zcr77_/?utm_medium=tumblr

Some Indigenous Peoples Day selected readings for this evening! I'm reading two books from Katherena Vermette, the comic A Girl Called Ech Vol 3: Northwest Resistance (art by Scott B. Henderson, colours by Donovan Yaciuk) and the poetry collection River Woman. I'm a big fan of the previous comics in this series and of previous poetry by the author, so I'm excited for both. #indigenoushistorymonth #indigenouspeoplesday #indigenousreads #books #booksofinstagram #bookstagram #booksofinsta #poetrybooks #comics https://www.instagram.com/p/CBtta_8ALRx/?igshid=w96yd5pbxpoq

Some books are meant to be read, to be savoured, exactly when the time feels right. I'm so grateful for having some downtime this winter season to be able to catch up on some #IndigenousReads that have been on my list for a hot minute. This year I've had the great opportunity to read both @tanyatagaq & @bev_sellars_ books. Next up Alicia Elliott.

Day 40: #themarrowthieves by #cheriedimaline—another book I’m hoping wins big. If you read any other dystopian in your lifetime, you must read this book. #bookstagram #365books #yalit #indigenousreads
