Hi, what a wonderful thread. My husband is NA, so we are pretty interested in NA writing.
I am new here and did not see two terrific novels (MCs = POC). One is Yes is Better Than No, a novel about members of a southwestern Indian tribe trying to live in Tucson. It covers the (sometimes) well intentioned,but grossly inappropriate white interactions, particuarly those with social workers, as well as sexploitation issues (one character figures he can land white women if he calls himself "Flaming Arrow", which happens, with an interesting interaction highlighting the whole sexualizing of NAs). Written by a white woman - Byrd Baylor - but is just a fantastic read for anyone interested in racial issues. Written in the 1970s but highly relevant.
Also, anything by James Welsh, who was Blackfeet. His book, Fool's Crow, is a gorgeous young man's coming-of-age story set in the 1870s. Just beautifully written, covers one of two of the massacres and their impact. A sprinkling of white folk but they are all secondary
Of course, anything by Louise Erdrich!
Anyway, really interesting to think about these issues and writing.
