Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the vein of Yellow Bird and Highway of Tears, a powerful and illuminating investigation into the disappearance of the young and pregnant Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, highlighting the shocking epidemic of violence against Indigenous women in America and the country's deplorable inaction. In the summer of 2017, twenty-two-year-old Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind vanished. A week after the pregnant woman disappeared, police arrested the white couple who lived upstairs from Savanna and emerged from their apartment carrying an infant girl. The baby was Savanna's, but she would not be found until her body was pulled from the Red River days later. This horrifying and unimaginable crime sent shockwaves through the country and helped bring to light the overwhelming sexual and physical violence Native American women and girls have endured since the country's colonization. With pathos and respect, Searching for Savanna confronts the history and attitudes towards these women and why our government has turned its back on the countless victims by highlighting this specific tragic case. Featuring in-depth interviews, personal accounts, and trial analysis, this is much more than a true crime book, it is also a call to action for those who cannot speak for themselves"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Planetary Purpose is a series of small childrens books reflecting upon childhood growth and development. As an educator, I have witnessed many children with worry and fear; as, Markus the box turtle exhibits in this series. These playful characters are all personified by those I have come to teach and meet throughout decades of experiences. Elephant Blue, a bumble bee, the butterfly or a banana tree each have a story to tell. Each character has an emotional conflict and a resolution for continuing their individual growth. To understand our anxieties and feelings are true. To allow patience and forgiveness upon ourselves is evident. We have a planetary purpose as writers and creators to educate. Allowing families to feel we are all safe, trusted and are all exploring at our own pace and rates. Through these series, the books will grow as our children. We will continue to add stages of development throughout childhood into adolescence. The storytelling will grow with your children. As a writer, there will always be another story to tell, another mountain to climb or ocean to change within the tides. Enjoy, God bless and thank you for reading to children. Love, Parsippany Bea.

Download or read book Weaving the Threads of Life written by Renaat Devisch and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1993-11 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Yaka of Southwestern Zaire, infertility is a tear in the fabric of life, and the Khita fertility ritual is a trusted way of reweaving the damaged strands. In Weaving the Threads of Life Rene Devisch offers an extended analysis of the Khita cult, which leads to an original account of the workings of ritual healing. Drawing on many years among urban and rural Yaka, Devisch analyzes their understanding of existence as a fabric of firmly but delicately interwoven threads of nature, body, and society. The fertility healing ritual calls forth forces, feelings, and meanings that allow women to rejoin themselves to the complex pattern of social and cosmic life. These elaborate rites—whether simulating mortal agony and rebirth, gestation and delivery, or flowering and decay; using music and dance, steambath or massage, dream messages or scarification—are not based on symbols of traditional beliefs. Rather, Devisch shows, the rites themselves generate forces and meaning, creating and shaping the cosmic, physical, and social world of their participants. In contrast to current theoretical methods such as postmodern or symbolical interpretation, Devisch's praxiological approach is unique in also using phenomenological insights into the intent and results of anthropological fieldwork. This innovative work will have ramifications beyond African studies, reaching into the anthropology of medicine and the body, comparative religious history, and women's studies.
