Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work takes an in-depth look at the world of comic books through the eyes of a Native American reader and offers frank commentary on the medium's cultural representation of the Native American people. It addresses a range of portrayals, from the bloodthirsty barbarians and noble savages of dime novels, to formulaic secondary characters and sidekicks, and, occasionally, protagonists sans paternal white hero, examining how and why Native Americans have been consistently marginalized and misrepresented in comics. Chapters cover early representations of Native Americans in popular culture and newspaper comic strips, the Fenimore Cooper legacy, the "white" Indian, the shaman, revisionist portrayals, and Native American comics from small publishers, among other topics.

Download or read book If I Go Missing written by Brianna Jonnie and published by Lorimer. This book was released on 2019-11-18 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining graphic fiction and non-fiction, this young adult graphic novel serves as a window into one of the unique dangers of being an Indigenous teen in Canada today. The text of the book is derived from excerpts of a letter written to the Winnipeg Chief of Police by fourteen-year-old Brianna Jonnie — a letter that went viral and was also the basis of a documentary film. In her letter, Jonnie calls out the authorities for neglecting to immediately investigate missing Indigenous people and urges them to "not treat me as the Indigenous person I am proud to be," if she were to be reported missing. Indigenous artist Neal Shannacappo provides the artwork for the book. Through his illustrations he imagines a situation in which a young Indigenous woman does disappear, portraying the reaction of her community, her friends, the police and media. An author's note at the end of the book provides context for young readers about Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada.

Book excerpt: Fire Starters tackles restorative justice on a contemporary reserve in Northwestern Ontario. When two white teenagers accidentally set fire to a gas station, their Indigenous classmates are wrongly accused.

Fire Starters explores prejudice, racism, and what reconciliation could look like, "moving it from a concept to [an] on-the-ground example of what reconciliation could mean, in action, in a small community" (Debbie Reese).
Download or read book Eye Killers written by A. A. Carr and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lurking in the caves of eastern New Mexico, Falke, a thousand-year-old vampire, chooses his next bride: Melissa Roanhorse, an Albuquerque teenager. To regain his granddaughter’s life, Michael Roanhorse, an old Navajo sheepherder wise to the power of myth, must outwit the vampire and his loyal coven. So begins A.A. Carr’s Eye Killers, a novel that combines the Eastern European legend of the vampire with the Navajo tale of the monster slayer. The songs of Michael Roanhorse’s childhood include potent chants passed down through his grandmother, who sang to him of Changing Woman and her Warrior Twins, Monster Slayer and Child of the Water. But Michael’s spiritual strength and his memory have waned with the years. Who is left to help reunite him with his family and his family with their heritage? Michael enlists Diana Logan, Melissa’s young English teacher, to wrestle Melissa from the vampire. But to conquer Falke they must also overpower his coven: Elizabeth, captured by Falke in the 1850s during her family’s journey along the Santa Fe Trail, and Hanna, once a prostitute in Old Albuquerque, who aspires to supplant Falke’s vampire reign. Michael must invoke ancient traditions to bring Melissa home. The elders undertake to teach Diana, but her Irish-American heritage has not prepared her for a fight against shape-shifting vampires who have lived-and murdered-for centuries. In Eye Killers, Carr delivers an imaginative clash of cultures-both a suspenseful thriller and a valid rendering of Navajo and Pueblo tribal life in contemporary New Mexico. His inventiveness, expressed through melodic prose and layers of fine storytelling, weaves new legends of the American Southwest.

Download or read book Pre Eternity of the World written by Christopher Buckley and published by . This book was released on 2021-04 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About Christopher Buckley, the late poet Peter Everwine writes, "I don't think that I know of another poet who has such vertical range and depth' Buckley manages to have one foot in the physical muck and tenderness of the world and the other foot planted among the stars and galaxies of the universe." Buckley's newest collection, Pre-Eternity of the World, is persistently the kind of poetry Everwine describes. In the title poem, Buckley describes pre-eternity as "loads of quantum confetti / ad infinitum . . . under the floorboards / of time . . . . Go figure." But, is this a simple dismissal, or is the poet asking the reader to calculate the incalculable? He asks, "Did our parents fight WW II / just so we could go to double features / on Saturday," watch black and white television, or "lie on a hill after school / letting our imaginations run off / with cloud formations? That's about it." These sorts of questions, cynical as they might be, are surprising and liberating, and he writes of intelligent design, of vacillation, and of science and math; the poet is "called on" to stand "bewildered." Such is the beauty of Buckley's poetry, with "Nothing but time to stop me / thinking."
