Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.

One small way we can listen and learn is by reading Indigenous writers and artists. Here are a few of my favourites in Canada:

• Jordan Abel - writerstrust.com/author…

• Arielle Twist - arielletwist.com

• Smokii Sumac - instagram.com/smokiisum…

• Tenille K. Campbell - tenillecampbell.com

• Richard Wagamese - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R…

• Tanya Talaga - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T…

• Waubgeshig Rice - waub.ca

• Billy-Ray Belcourt - billy-raybelcourt.com

Their work spans poetry, fiction, journalism and visual art, and explores identity, colonialism, grief, love, survival, joy and Indigenous life.

If you’re looking for something to read today, start with one of them. 🧡
