Indigenous Thinkers

Here's a list of the best Indian books as voted by our  correspondents (Blue Corn Comics). By "Indian books" I mean books by and about Native Americans, fiction or nonfiction. By "best" I mean the books we love or enjoy the most—the books we would recommend most hearily to others. That's not the same as the books we deem the "most important." Works as diverse as the Bible, the Constitution, and Moby-Dick may be important, but they aren't necessarily the works we read most often.

I hope this list will keep growing as people submit their top 10 books. Other sites list all the books, or just one person's favorites, but I'm trying for some consensus about the "best." Because people can submit only 10 books here, this list should remain selective rather than comprehensive. And since none of us can read every Indian book published, the list will always be arbitrary and incomplete.
