This is the thread for recommending indigenous writers of non-fiction. (Feel free to start related threads as needed, e.g., poetry.)
I'll kick off with a Victorian-era journalist and humorist from the Creek Nation: Alexander Posey, whose surname comes from the Muskogee word pose, "house cat." He died young, and some of his writings have been lost along with the Oklahoma newsprint they were printed on. I'm reading a collection of his work, Chinnubbie and the owl, prominently featuring folk tales about a sort of trickster figure, the Chinnubbie of the title. If you're interested in either the Creek people or early Oklahoma (Indian Territory), I think you'll find this small book well worth your time. There's a biography of Posey, too, that I hope to get to one day soon.
