Holiday reading list: 5 great books by indigenous authors The Next Chapter’s Shelagh Rogers picks her favourites By Shelagh Rogers, for CBC News Posted: Dec 19, 2014 1:58 PM ET Last Updated: Dec 22, 2014 2:39 PM ET “Even though I now live in a rain forest, when I hear “holidays,” I think of snow, frost and darkness.
