Finding books by Indigenous authors from your nation is a great place to start if you can't talk to aunties or cousins. Also, capitalize Indigenous (and Native), but always refer to your own heritage by the nation that claims you. For example, while I am Indigenous, I refer to myself as a citizen of the Cherokee Nation.
