Indigenous Peoples Reading Challenge

Celebrate Indigenous cultures throughout the month of March. You can signup through the Beanstack app or website. We’ve curated a list of titles by Indigenous authors that highlight the richness and diversity in these wide-reaching communities. There is no one “Indigenous story”, so open yourself up to discovering a new range of experiences through literature. One book is all it takes to complete the challenge. Prizes will be awarded to all finishers. You are free to read any book by an Indigenous author that you'd like in order to complete the challenge. While we have curated one list with teen titles and one with adult titles, anyone is welcome to read from either list.
