Indigenous Peoples

This group has become officially dormant. It happens. If you want to revive this group, or create a new group on the same topic, see this page.

We read and discuss books about indigenous peoples (First Nations, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Pacific Islanders, Maori people, Indigenous Australians, and all these folks). Fiction, non-fiction, history, social sciences, poetry, journalism — you name it.
