51 New Books to Read for Native American Heritage Month

"November is Native American Heritage Month in the United States. To join in the celebrations, we've sorted through our recent archives to highlight new books by Native American writers.

There is a lot to explore here: from historical fiction to YA fantasy, memoirs to mystery-thrillers, short story collections to National Book Award nominees. For those who enjoy the darker side of contemporary fiction, consider these books by Stephen Graham Jones (The Only Good Indians) or Erika T. Wurth (White Horse), which explore shadowy places between noir and horror. U.S. poet laureate Joy Harjo gathers the work of more than 160 Indigenous poets with the acclaimed anthology When the Light of the World Was Subdued, Our Songs Came Through."
