In keeping with our Guiding Principles for Presenting Indigenous Work, we believe that it is essential to continually expand our knowledge and perspective. To that end we would like to share this preliminary list of resources on Indigenous histories, stories, and truths. This list has kindly been created and shared by Terri-Lynn Brennan.
