My personal #books #ReadingGoal this year is to find & read every book that Richard Wagamese wrote. I have read 3 of his books so far & loved them. He's one of my fave #Indigenous authors in #Canada.

Richard Wagamese was one of Canada’s foremost #IndigenousAuthors & esteemed public speaker & #storyteller. A professional writer since 1979, he was a newspaper columnist & reporter, radio & television broadcaster & producer, documentary producer & author of 14 titles from various #Canadian publishers.

He was a success in every genre of writing he tried. An #Ojibway from the #Wabaseemoong #FirstNation in Northwestern #Ontario, he became the first #NativeCanadian to win a National Newspaper Award for Column Writing in 1991. He won the Alberta Writers Guild Best Novel Award for his debut novel, Keeper’n Me in 1994 & the Canadian Authors Association Award for Fiction for his third novel Dream Wheels, in 2007. One Native Life was one of The Globe & Mail’s 100 Best Books of 2008 & One Story, One Song was awarded the George Ryga Award for Social Awareness in Literature in 2011.

Indian Horse, the feature film, is based on his book of the same title.

If you haven't read any of his books yet, I highly recommend finding them at your local library 👍📚
