Hi! I really like reading outdoor adventure books (canoe trips, long distance thru hiking, camping ect.) but I always have a tough time with the perspective that the authors bring to the outdoors.
Here are some example books:
A Walk in the woods – Bill Bryson
Wild – Cheryl Strayed
Beyond the Trees – Adam Shoalts
A Year in the Woods – Torbjørn Ekelund
Mud, rocks, blazes – Heather Anderson
All of these books are fun, exciting, and inspiring in some ways but fall pretty flat for me because they take a very western perspective on the outdoors (eg. untouched wilderness, something to be violently conquered, and in the case of Bill Bryson, how awesome it would be if it didnt exsist at all)
If anyone knows of any books that are like this but from an Indigenous/non western perspective that would be amazing.
