The author of this thoughtfully crafted memoir about Indigenous identity, blood quantum laws, and cultural survival grew up here in Carrollton. Through a totem pole bearing symbols of the matriarchs in her line—bear, salmon, hummingbird, raven—and evocative retellings of Native folklore, Myers sifts through the forces that have led to her being the last of her family to qualify for membership in the Jamestown S‘Klallam Tribe of Washington state.
