Hi there. Could anyone suggest me any Native American Writers? If contemporary writers, that would be amazing. I already read Natalie Diaz and I loved her. So, both proses or poems or fiction and non-fiction is fine to me.
If you’re interested in nature at all I’m currently reading braiding sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer and am really enjoying it! It’s written by an indigenous botanist and is about having a reciprocal relationship with nature. Non-fiction that reads like a memoir!

Louise Erdrich – she is a national treasure! She won the Pulitzer award few years ago for The Night Watchman. She won the National Book Award for The Round House (one of my all time faves.) The Sentence is her most recent, and it is excellent too. Lots of other accolades – again, such a treasure!

Ramona Emerson. I read Shutter last year and it was one of my favorite novels! She’s Diné (Navajo)
