#FallTreasures #Day24 #NativeAmericanDay

Catching up on posts from the weekend, since I was out of town and away from my books.

I read the tagged book in my Literature of the American West class back in college, and got Lone Ranger and Tonto signed by Sherman Alexie when he spoke at my college.

Suet624 I‘ve wanted to meet Alexie forever. 3y
SamAnne I know he has been a #MeToo casualty and it was with warrant, but wow his memoir You Don‘t Have to Say You Love Me is great. He had a brain tumor when he was writing it and switches from prose to poem. Dammit Sherman! Why couldn‘t you keep it in your pants!!!!!!! 3y
Kimberlone @Suet624 it was over 10 years ago when I saw him speak, but I do remember it being fantastic. @SamAnne yes it‘s unfortunate that his literary legacy has been tainted now by his own bad behavior (similar to Junot Diaz as well 😞), since he has such a powerful voice and perspective. At least we still have the beautiful writing. (edited) 3y
Suet624 @SamAnne yes, I‘ve read all of his books and will always have compassion for him. 3y
Eggs Great choice! I‘ve read several Alexie books 😔 3y

#FallTreasures

Three from my #TBR for #NativeAmericanDay from Native American authors although the tagged book is really from a Native North American author of the Métis people of Canada. It & My Heart is a Chainsaw are #ARCs loaded on my Kindle while I have been on the hold list at my library for ages for Elatsoe.

LazyOwl I enjoyed Elatsoe. Very hopeful family orientated story. 3y
Eggs I too enjoyed Elatsoe 👏🏻📚❤️ 3y
SamAnne Plan to read both Empire of Wild and chainsaw in October. And have you watch the Hulu/FX show reservation dogs yet??? So good! 3y
DebinHawaii @LazyOwl @Eggs Good to know. I put the library e-book on hold a while back & when I looked yesterday, it says 12 weeks! 3y
DebinHawaii @SamAnne I am putting Empire of the Wild on my #scarathlon2021 #tbr too. 😱 I‘ll check out Reservation Dogs! (edited) 3y

#falltreasures #NativeAmericanDay Some of my Native stash. Living in Az. growing up meant that used book stores usually had a pretty good selection of books on native peoples, especially the tribes in the 4 corners region.

The author of this collection of poems was born and raised on the Fort Mojave Indian Reservation in Needles California, a town my family used to drive through on the way to our Colorado River vacations. I love it when stories/poems take place in cities I‘ve been to and can see in my minds eye as I read. Great collection.

Hiawatha was a strong and articulate Mohawk who was chosen to translate the Peacemaker‘s message of unity for the five warring Iroquois nations during the 14th century—gorgeous illustrations by David Shannon (No David!)
