First Nations Literature refers to the body of written works produced by the Indigenous peoples of Canada and the United States. This literature encompasses a variety of genres, including poetry, novels, short stories, and oral traditions, reflecting the diverse cultures, languages, and histories of the First Nations communities. It often explores themes of identity, connection to the land, and the impact of colonization. Many First Nations authors, such as Thomas King and Lee Maracle, use their writing to share their experiences and perspectives. This literature serves not only as a means of storytelling but also as a way to preserve cultural heritage and promote understanding of Indigenous issues among broader audiences.
