Biindigen's 2022 Indigenous Reads
Biindigen: Western's Indigenous Learning Circle is not aways focused around books and reading, but we always get asked for recommendations, and wanted to promote some Indigenous reads that have been part of our past programming. You can get most of these titles from the Western Library or London Public Libraries, or purchase them yourselves to treasure forever. Happy reading!
