Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is worth a read. It gives an interesting perspective of the spread of colonialism in Nigeria. I've got the follow up, No Longer At Ease, sat in my to read list.
I'll be interested in what others suggest actually, this has made me realise how little I read from authors who aren't European or American!

Purple Hibiscus, Half of a Yellow Sun & The Thing Around Your Neck by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie who is a superb Nigerian writer.
-
Australian - Follow the Rabbit Proof Fence
The film is good too.Do you want books about/by indigenous people? Or just extra-european authors?

Finally finished Oliver Stone’s chasing the light. A great insight to his life and experiences with Midnight Express, Platoon, El Salvador.
Just started Maya Angelou - I know why caged birds sing
If anyone can recommend a good read around indigenous people I want to collect a bunch of stories from across the globe.
