Indigenous literatures

Indigenous literatures comprise written and oral works that reflect the histories, cultures, values, and experiences of Indigenous peoples worldwide. These texts often explore themes of identity, tradition, land, resistance, and resilience, offering authentic voices often marginalized in mainstream narratives. They serve as vital tools for cultural preservation, storytelling, and advocacy, helping to maintain Indigenous languages and perspectives. By elevating Indigenous narratives, these literatures contribute to a richer, more inclusive understanding of history and human diversity.
