Hi, yes, since it's the #SuperBowl I thought I'd share a list of books you can read that give an accurate view of Indigenous peoples because, well, we wrote them.

Racist mascots aren't truth tellers. They stir up hate & discrimination.

Read some books instead:

1. Why Indigenous Literatures Matter by @justicedanielh -- if you're not following Daniel, you are missing out on a beautiful and needed voice.

2. One Story, One song by Richard Wagamese (essays)

3. Onigamiising: seasons of an ojibwe year by Linda LeGarde Grover (essays)

@justicedanielh 4. As We Have Always Done: Indigenous Freedom Through Radical Resistance by Leanna Betasamosake Simpson

5. Native American DNA by @KimTallBear (hello Warren fans)

6. "All the Real Indians Died Off" & 20 other myths about Native Americans by @DinaGWhit & @rdunbaro

@justicedanielh @KimTallBear @DinaGWhit @rdunbaro 7. Our History Is the Future by @nick_w_estes (also follow @The_Red_Nation & their podcast!)

8. I Am Woman: A Native Perspective on Sociology & Feminism by Lee Maracle

@justicedanielh @KimTallBear @DinaGWhit @rdunbaro @nick_w_estes @The_Red_Nation 9. There, There by Tommy Orange

10. Words Like Love by @tanayawinder (poetry)

@justicedanielh @KimTallBear @DinaGWhit @rdunbaro @nick_w_estes @The_Red_Nation @tanayawinder And, of course, it's also #BlackHistoryMonth so let me just say that it's important we work to combat anti-Blackness in ALL of our spaces. Make sure you follow & listen to Afro-Indigenous voices as well, celebrating their resilience and honoring their stories of trauma.

@justicedanielh @KimTallBear @DinaGWhit @rdunbaro @nick_w_estes @The_Red_Nation @tanayawinder We can do the hard things.
We can change narratives.
We are not helpless, and we don't have to do this work alone.
Buy books, have hard discussions, talk about injustice, practice solidarity.

I believe in Us.
