My suggestion would be that for the sake of good order we stick to not getting our color wheels out, nor classify by how long an author's forebears have lived in a country (we all come from Africa originally so for myself I tend to like to leave it at that), nor what sex/gender/whathaveyou an author is, nor what their political or other views or ideologies are. I prefer to stick to literary competence and the rest to me doesn't matter.
I should have been more clear. I was suggesting people that identify as indigenous, first nation, or the like. In the US it would be Native American, in Canada, First Nations, in Australia and New Zealand it would be Aboriginal. I was not trying to be controversial. I would think there would be good literary titles that also fit the theme of reading around the various Thanksgiving holidays.

("Color wheel", really?)
