Indigenous Studies professor highlights five must-read Indigenous autobiographies.

Halfbreed, by Maria Campbell , remains the most important autobiography written by an Indigenous author in Canada in the 20th century .

For Joshua : An Ojibway Father Teaches his Son, by Richard Wagamese , is one of the most popular books that I have taught.

Who We Are is written by Sen. Murray Sinclair , the chair of the Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission from 2009 to 2015 .

This is another example of a life story that is wonderful to listen to as an audiobook.

At first , the story is narrated by the author, who speaks sagely in a voice weakened by age.
