Indigenous Literature: Overview

There has been a shift in publishing from material written about Indigenous Peoples to material written by Indigenous Peoples. More material by Indigenous authors is now available thanks to gradual improvements in the publishing industry, including more Indigenous publishing houses. Some prominent Indigenous publishers include Inhabit Media (Inuit) Theytus Books (Metis) Pemmican Publications (First Nations) Strong Nation.
