A Girl Called Echo, is the first in the series Pemmican Wars, written by Katherena Vermette and illustrated by Scott B. Henderson .

Echo Desjardins is a 13-year-old Métis girl,  adjusting to a new home and school while dealing with loneliness after being separated from her mother. During a normal school days, she is suddenly transported to another time and place, finding herself in the middle of a bison hunt on the Saskatchewan prairie.

Apple: Skin to the Core is a memoir-in-verse by Eric Gansworth, taking derogatory term "apple" and reclaiming it through his auto-biographic poetry. It tells the personal story of his family, alongside the struggles of Native people everywhere; from the horrors of government boarding schools to his struggle to become an artist balancing between two worlds.

Firekeeper's Daughter is a novel by Angeline Boulley that follows Daunis Fountaine, a biracial teen who is 1/2 Ojibwe and 1/2 French. After deferring her plan to attend the University of Michigan to care for her mother, she becomes wrapped up in a series of murders. Using her knowledge of chemistry alongside traditional Ojibwe medicine to track down the source of a new drug, she learns about her connection to her community, and to her personal history.

An indigenous people's history of the United States by Jean Mendoza follows activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and she reveals how the history of colonialism and Native American genocide shaped the United States' national identity.

Braiding Sweetgrass in this book, botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer explores the reciprocal relationships between humans and the rest of the living world. By drawing on her experiences as a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, she embraces the knowledge that plants and animals are our oldest and greatest teachers, and combines her scientific knowledge with her cultural heritage.
