His latest work is the co-edited anthology Allotment Stories: Indigenous Land Relations Under Settler Siege (2022). His book Why Indigenous Literatures Matter (2018) received the Native American and Indigenous Studies Association Award for Subsequent Book, published in 2018, and the 2019 PROSE award. In recognition of his contributions to Indigenous literary studies, Dr. Justice was awarded the UBC Killam Research Prize in 2015 and in 2010 the Ludwik and Estelle Jus Memorial Human Rights Prize at the University of Toronto.
