In this special episode of Book Lounge by Libby, we’re joined by celebrated Indigenous authors Angeline Boulley (Firekeeper’s Daughter, Warrior Girl Unearthed) and Carole Lindstrom (We Are Water Protectors, Autumn Peltier, Water Warrior) for a powerful conversation on legacy, language, and literature.

Together, we discuss what it means to write from and for their communities, the responsibility of storytelling, and how their work connects generations past, present, and future. 

This episode is a celebration of Indigenous identity, survival, and the resilience of story — and an invitation to listen, learn, and uplift. 

Plus, Bre and Cece stop by with a few incredible book recs from Indigenous voices you won't want to miss.
