Indigenous peoples are distinct groups with historical continuity in a region before colonization, who have maintained unique cultures, languages, and social systems, and are determined to preserve them. And they are in over 90 countries around the world. So there is a lot of potential in this prompt!

What are you reading this week? How does it meet the prompt?

I might read The Yield (Australian) , and There There (North American).

I just read Sisters in the Wind by Angeline Boulley. I really liked it. It’s her third book, but it’s second chronologically. It’s set soon after Firekeeper’s Daughter and it’s about separated sisters. (You could read Warrior Girl later.)

For those who wanted a poetic book, I would recommend Heart Berries.

So it's between Firekeeper and Warrior? Interesting! I should read that fast now that I remember who is who in the story- took me some time with Warrior Girl!

She's an excellent writer to read for the anniversary prompt of all the vowels.

Daunis (the mc in Firekeeper) isn’t the main character in this book, but she’s important. The fbi undercover agent is here too, in a different job. Her nieces are still little girls.

Charlsa (cjbookjunkie) | 718 comments I loved the first book in the series, so I'm reading the second book, Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley.
