0:00.0	You're listening to all the backlist, a weekly show about books that are not new.
0:15.0	I'm your host Danica Ellis. This is episode number 487.5, and today I have a couple of books by indigenous authors to recommend.
0:25.0	So I am recording this in the week of National Day,
0:34.0	also known as Orange Shirt Day.
0:36.6	This is a national holiday in Canada, which is about recognizing the survivors of residential schools.
0:47.6	And I thought this was a good time to talk about some indigenous books so these aren't necessarily focused on
0:56.2	residential schools but I still think it is timely to try to prioritize reading indigenous books. That is something I've been
1:06.8	trying to do more in the last couple of years. I have been volunteering for my local Native Friendship Center.
1:15.0	They have a library and it is amazing and every time I go in there I find so many books that I want to read so that is a really great way to

2:17.6	reading lives so also reading more indigenous books so I'm going to recommend a couple of my favorite
2:25.6	backlist books by indigenous authors but first I want to talk about T-B-R. So this October tailored book recommendations is giving away a
2:37.5	pair of Beats Fit Pro headphones. If you haven't heard about it, t-BRA is the
2:42.2	perfect way to take the guesswork out of finding your next favorite read, and you can definitely ask for indigenous book recommendations.
2:49.0	So just an idea.
2:51.0	It is a book recommendation service and to get started you just fill out a quick survey
2:57.8	about your reading likes and dislikes and we will pair you with a professional book nerd,
3:03.4	aka a bibliologist, who will use their bookish knowledge
