This document is part of an ongoing initiative to develop Indigenist astronomy content that respects and honours Indigenous knowledges and cultures and that supports equity for Indigenous peoples in the academic classroom. This is timely in the Canadian context with the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation commission to work on integrating Indigenous knowledges into the education system. I focus on these perspectives for personal reasons - I identify as indigenous in Canada and for academic reasons - I work at a Canadian institution and am developing Indigenist astronomy course material for use in the Canadian community. I note that this list is designed to reflect Indigenist perspectives from peoples whose traditional lands that are colonized by Canada and the politics discussed in many of these references focus on that experience. My goal for generating this list of resources is to provide a tool for astronomers and educators who wish to integrate Indigenous astronomy and share Indigenist perspectives in their curriculums.
