CONTEMPORARY NATIVE AMERICAN STORYTELLERS SPEAK OUT

It is important to me to encourage the welfare of the beautiful indigenous people of my country. For this reason, I include Native American characters in my books when appropriate, facets of my stories that place me on joyous research studies about them—about their histories, their cultures, and their priceless and immeasurable contributions to American life. Today and for fitting days in the future, I will post the covers and short descriptions of books about American Indians, many of them from my library, as well as from other sources. I hope they will spark interest in, concern for, and support of Native Americans on the part of my friends who read my posts.

Today’s feature is BLUE DAWN, RED EARTH, NEW NATIVE AMERICAN STORYTELLERS. The book features a stunning collection of thirty, contemporary Native American voices in short stories and essays that “shimmer with wit and erupt with rage while, most crucially, demonstrate the astonishing complexity and richness of Native American stories, both past and present.”[1]

A GREAT AND PASSIONATE BOOK ABOUT AMERICAN INDIANS

Today’s feature is “TOUCHES THE SKY,” a great and passionate yarn authored by JAMES CALVIN SCHAAP: The Lakota and Dutch settlers clash on the mid-country plains during America’s western expansion. The settlers charge the Lakota wrongly with the death of a white settler, a situation that not only places the honor of the Lakota in peril, but also their freedom, home, and way of life.
