Becoming Earth by Ferris Jabr How life has impacted the formation of our planet.
Threads of Life by Clare Hunter History of needlework and embroidery.
Chokia Jazz by Francis Spufford Noir detective novel set in an alternate America in which the indigenous population wasn't wiped out by plauges.
How's Chokia Jazz? Haven't read much fiction relating to native Americans.
I loved it. There is a fair amount of world building and some native terms that you have to wrap your head around, but it is well explained and fairly easy to pick up. I don't think you need to have too much background going in.
Thanks for the info, will add it to my list.
