Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A photographic and narrative celebration of contemporary Native American life and cultures, alongside an in-depth examination of issues that Native people face, by celebrated photographer and storyteller Matika Wilbur of the Swinomish and Tulalip Tribes. “This book is too important to miss. It is a vast, sprawling look at who we are as Indigenous people in these United States.”—Tommy Orange (Cheyenne and Arapaho), author of There There Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal In 2012, Matika Wilbur sold everything in her Seattle apartment and set out on a Kickstarter-funded pursuit to visit, engage, and photograph people from what were then the 562 federally recognized Native American Tribal Nations. Over the next decade, she traveled six hundred thousand miles across fifty states—from Seminole country (now known as the Everglades) to Inuit territory (now known as the Bering Sea)—to meet, interview, and photograph hundreds of Indigenous people. The body of work Wilbur created serves to counteract the one-dimensional and archaic stereotypes of Native people in mainstream media and offers justice to the richness, diversity, and lived experiences of Indian Country. The culmination of this decade-long art and storytelling endeavor, Project 562 is a peerless, sweeping, and moving love letter to Indigenous Americans, containing hundreds of stunning portraits and compelling personal narratives of contemporary Native people—all photographed in clothing, poses, and locations of their choosing. Their narratives touch on personal and cultural identity as well as issues of media representation, sovereignty, faith, family, the protection of sacred sites, subsistence living, traditional knowledge-keeping, land stewardship, language preservation, advocacy, education, the arts, and more. A vital contribution from an incomparable artist, Project 562 inspires, educates, and truly changes the way we see Native America.
Download or read book Bury Me In Taos written by Riley Chapman and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have this thing about places, I only ever want to be there when I'm not. Even when those places are where my life's been hardest and terrible things have happened. But maybe that's what makes them so familiar. Nothing forges intimacy like suffering with another, and that's how it is with Taos. I suffered here. I walked her streets and on the back roads till everyone knew me and no one liked me. Maybe, it was what I did, because I was dying and wanted everyone to see, wanted them all to know. Wanted to show them, the best way I could, the festering scar in my brain, the one that came before all the rest, the scar of scars, mine. Showing them my death, baring it all like that in the streets for them to see, comforted me, somehow. It quelled my brain, the beast. In the mornings, I made phone calls looking for death. Sometimes, I used the payphones in the plaza. Mostly, though, I used the landline at Café Tazza down the street. Once someone answered and agreed to deliver, I sat on the railroad ties in the dirt of the municipal parking lot or at the ketchup and mustard stained picnic tables outside of Smith's to wait for it. And once it was in my sweaty hand, I tasted it in the bathroom stall. After that, there was stumbling through town with the hiccups, a slink in my step and mischief in my eyes that hadn't been there before. I became something else for the second parts of those days, something malevolent, death's own body and comfortable in my skin.
Book Synopsis The Beloved Captive by : Amelia Dale Smith
Download or read book The Beloved Captive written by Amelia Dale Smith and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2023-01-05 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men go out in the desert to find their puha–their power. Why can a woman not do the same? The girl wondered. She looked at her hands. Maybe this is a dream, she hoped. A medicine woman once told Wa Shana that if one could see their own hands in a dream, they could control their dream to learn many secrets. Wa Shana’s hands were cracked and bleeding, from days of scraping buffalo hides and tending the cooking fires. Her whole life was one of toil, drudgery and scolding from the older women of the village. The dizziness, this sense of being apart from her body, had started in mid-afternoon. Only a swallow or two remained in her goatskin bag; she needed to save it. Except for some pemmican and a small knife, she had no other provisions. What little status Wa Shana had in the tribe was gone. A woman’s power, her ‘puha’, came from being the center of a family—the power of drawing in a man, becoming the wife of a warrior, giving birth and raising children. Wa Shana no longer had any of that. She only had the reputation of humming strange songs to herself when she worked, which only intensified the tribe’s belief that she was possessed by an evil spirit. Amelia D.

Yet Kristin feels that their attraction was mutual and genuine. . . . Something deep, dark, and secret is haunting Gray, something Kristin must bring into the clear light of day before they can fully share their love.
