10. Everything You Wanted to Know about Indians but were Afraid to Ask by Anton Treuer
A short book set out in FAQ format about Indian (he's American, it's their preferred terminology but as a Canadian it makes me twitch) culture, history, religion, languages, politics, economics, education. It's US-centric but a lot of it is applicable to the Canadian experience. Truer is Ojibwe from Minnesota so most of the examples are from Great Lakes or Great Plains tribes - which is great for me because those are similar groups to the first nations people where I grew up.
It's well written, warm and helpful even though almost all of the content is extremely angry-making. Another one you should all read.
