The ReverendSamson Occom , aMohegan writer[ 1] thought to be the first Native American to publish in English This is alist of notable writers who areIndigenous peoples of the Americas .
This list includesauthors who areAlaskan Native ,American Indian ,First Nations ,Inuit ,Métis , andIndigenous peoples of Mexico , the Caribbean, Central America, andSouth America , as defined by the citizens of these Indigenous nations and tribes.
While Indigenous identity can at times be complex, inclusion in this list is based uponreliably-sourced citizenship in an Indigenous nation, based upon the legal definitions of, and recognition by, the relevant Indigenous community claimed by the individual. They must be documented as being claimed by that community. Writers such asForrest Carter ,[ 2] [ 3] Ward Churchill ,[ 4] [ 5] [ 6] Jamake Highwater ,[ 7] [ 8] [ 9] Joseph Boyden [ 10] [ 11] andGrey Owl ,[ 2] [ 12] [ 13] whoseclaims of Indigenous American descent have been factually disproved through genealogical research, are not included in this list.
