Truth and Reconciliation: Exploring Indigenous Narratives and Worldviews

To support the University community toward reconciliation, we’d like to draw your attention to a variety of works that highlight Indigenous writers, content, and research frameworks in this digital collection titled Exploring Indigenous Narratives and Worldviews—a collection developed in collaboration with Indigenous Initiatives and the Indigenous Student Centre at U of G. Within the overarching collection, there is a sub-collection focused on reading for Truth and Reconciliation.

“The library is always striving to build our collection of Indigenous titles—books by, for, and about Indigenous people. As we mark National Truth and Reconciliation Week 2024, we continue to focus on improving the representation of Indigenous voices and scholarship in our collection, ensuring that these perspectives are not only preserved but also actively shared with our community,” said Meg Ecclestone, head, Collections & Content.

Inside this collection, you’ll find a variety of novels, children’s literature, research and scholarly texts, and memoirs, with new works being added each year. Some newly added titles include:

• Making Love with the Land: Essays, by Joshua Whitehead
• A Blanket of Butterflies, by Richard Van Camp
• Indigenous Research Design: Transnational Perspectives in Practice, edited by Elizabeth Sumida Huaman and Nathan D. Martin
• Go Show the World: A Celebration of Indigenous Heroes, by Wab Kinew
• The Knowing, by Tanya Talaga

In addition to the digital collection, we invite you to browse a print collection of popular titles by Indigenous authors, located on the first floor of the library.
