A Black-Indigenous Solidarities Reading List

Karina Vernon wrote:  A Black-Indigenous Solidarities Reading List 👇🏽👇🏽

The recent events at the University of Regina have been deeply painful. In response, I compiled a Black-Indigenous Solidarity Reading List and shared it on Twitter. I asked people to add to it and keep the thread going, and we now have a beautiful crowd-sourced list of readings that will help inform the necessary work ahead of us.

Please continue to add to the list and share widely!
