Summary/Abstract: The starting point of our topic will be the collective work "Nous sommes des histoires. Réflexions sur la littérature autochtone" ["We are stories/histories. Reflections on indigenous literature"]. We will be questioning what exactly the authors of the Indigenous renaissance, especially the younger generation of authors are contributing and how we analyse their new self-assurance in this concert of indigenous voices. In regard to the great number of anglophone and francophone authors gathered in this book, we will limit ourselves to the analysis of some indigenous authors of Québec without ignoring the impact of important authors like Thomas King or Drew Hayden Taylor in order to discuss works of Virginia Pésémapéo Bordeleau and the new rising star of indigenous literature in Québec: Naomi Fontaine.
