Read at the direction of my writing mentor Miye Tom, for whom I am endlessly grateful. Through this collection I have discovered some new all-time favorite writers (Elissa Washuta, Billy-Ray Belcourt, Toni Jensen, Laura Da’, and Tiffany Midge). This collection, and Dr. Tom’s belief in my writing abilities, has changed the way I write for the better. Forever. 4.5 stars because, as anthologies often go, some were better than others. But damn, the ones that were so good were SO GOOD. I recommend this to anyone who is curious about exploring lyric essays/creative nonfiction. It is just an incredible collection.

Some of these essays 5/5. Some of these essays I cannot parse/not for me.
I was reading through the contributors and want the diversity of voices that are there: all different tribes, all different kinds of writers. And as the editors say in the intro, this moves beyond those basic questions of: what do you need to be to be an authentic Indian and the “we’re still here”, into the how and what now?
Would def teach/excerpt several of these.

Read this collection if you desire to learn more about indigenous experiences that are authentic and poignant. I saved several excerpts while reading because I couldn't bear to forget their stories.
