gnocchi_4 's review for:
Firekeeper's Daughter
by Angeline Boulley
A great book that give a glimpse into the way of life of Natives in America, with struggles and strengths of their own. Very touching and well written.
"More than four in five (84%) Native women have experienced violence in their lifetime and more than half (56%) have experienced sexual violence. Nearly all (97%) of the Native women who have experienced violence had at least one non-Native perpetrator. Although it is a difficult and exhaustive narrative, I felt it was important to show the painful reality of these experiences, especially within the specific context of the predatory targeting of Native women and the jurisdictional quagmire on tribal lands."
"It's hard when someone says they love you, but they need to contain and control the things that make you you."
"Greetings, Creator. I am Red Bear Woman. Bear Clan. From the Place of the Rapids. Keep our community strong. Our women safe. Our men whole. Our Elders laughing. And our children dreaming in the language. Thank you very much for this good life.
When the song ends, I stand at the eastern door. Where all journeys begin."
