Celebrating Indigenous Peoples' Day

Gival Press is pleased to celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day and authors who have self-identified as descendants of Indigenous Peoples.

While we are quite aware of the trauma that has been thrust upon countless Indigenous cultures over the centuries, we celebrate the Spirit of the Americas, from the farthest northern area of Canada to the farthest southern area of Chile and all its cultures past and present.

We are pleased to have published:
