In her tribe, the mend protect fire and the women protect water. I love the uplifting loving message of this book. Our world is out of balance and indigenous tribes have tried to tell us for decades how to live in harmony with the world and we are so lost in our culture, we don't have the will as a group to stand up and help ourselves. I love the poetry and the way of thinking about life. I know the stories of the 4 legged and the winged ones. I haven't found a place in Maryland to connect with that again. I went to South Dakota for 4 years in a row and did a vision quest and prayed on the land with the people. I have prayed with the people and for the land. It's dreamlike and it takes me back to my days in the sweat lodges. The artwork is swirls of water and beautiful blue tones. They are stewards of the land and that fits right in with the bible which tells us we are stewards of the land as well. The story is about this girl and her village and the important of all the water, land and animals. The serpent is oil pipes that crisscross our land and leak. They are told to protect the water and one day a black serpent will come to poison the water and they must protect against this serpent. She tells of the stories told to the people of the land. The author wrote this after the incident at Standing Rock happened with the water and the oil pipe. This is one of those books that feels written for me.

In Stone Blind, classicist and comedian Natalie Haynes turns our understanding of this legendary myth on its head, bringing empathy and nuance to one of the earliest stories in which a woman-injured by a powerful man-is blamed, punished, and monstered for the assault. Until Perseus embarks upon a fateful quest to fetch the head of a Gorgon. Cursed with the power to destroy all she loves with one look, Medusa condemns herself to a life of solitude. Writhing snakes replace her hair and her gaze will turn any living creature to stone. Punished for Poseidon's actions, Medusa is forever transformed. Furious by the violation of her sacred space, Athene takes revenge-on the young woman. When the sea god Poseidon assaults Medusa in Athene's temple, the goddess is enraged. Her mortal lifespan gives her an urgency that her family will never know. Unlike her siblings, Medusa grows older, experiences change, feels weakness. The only mortal in a family of gods, Medusa is the youngest of the Gorgon sisters. They will fear you and flee you and call you a monster. A fresh take on the story of Medusa, the original monstered woman. Other Indian writers of this period were either entirely acculturated - had never lived the traditional life of their people or been educated out of their native knowledge - or were not literate, and were able to provide only "as told to" materials, through the filters of interpreters and non-Indian writers. Educated at Dartmouth and Boston University medical school, Eastman became a highly literate physician, who was the only doctor available to the victims of the Wounded Knee massacre in 1890 - a major historical event, often described as "ending the Indian wars". His father (thought to have been hanged at Mankato, Minnesota) reappeared and insisted he receive the white man's education. He thus gained a thorough first-hand knowledge of the lifeways, language, culture, and oral history. He was raised traditionally, as a Woodland Sioux, by his grandmother, from 1858 - 1874, until he was 15. Charles Alexander Eastman is unique among Indian writers, whether storytellers or oral historians. And, best of all, she gets to write about it in her fabulous new blog.

Through these firsthand accounts from many who have never spoken publicly before, Finstad has reconstructed a life of emotional abuse and exploitation, of almost unprecedented fame, great loneliness, poignancy, and loss.
