Urban Tribes: Native Americans in the City | Mary Beth Leatherdale

2 posts | 3 read | 7 to read

Young, urban Natives powerfully show how their culture and values can surviveand enrichcity life. Urban Tribes offers unique insight into this growing and often misperceived group. Emotionally potent and visually arresting, the anthology profiles young urban Natives from across North America, exploring how they connect with Native culture and values in their contemporary lives. Their stories are as diverse as they are. From a young Dene woman pursuing a MBA at Stanford to a Pima photographer in Phoenix to a Mohawk actress in New York, these urban Natives share their unique perspectives to bridge the divide between their past and their future, their cultural home, and their adopted cities. Unflinchingly honest and deeply moving, contributors explore a wide-range of topics. From the trials and tribulations of dating in the city to the alienating experience of leaving a remote reserve to attend high school in the city, from the mainstream success of Electric Pow wow music to the humiliation of dealing with racist school mascots, personal perspectives illuminate larger political issues. An innovative and highly visual design offers a dynamic, reading experience."

Wow. This is so needed, so necessary. When kids come into the library looking for books about “Indians”, it is hard to convince them that Native people still exist and are not just a story from a history book. If they know that there are still Native and First Nation people, they think they all live on reservations or in teepees. This is artistic, gorgeous and enlightening, particularly for the YA age group it is aimed at. I‘m glad it exists.

It's not that I hate being at my relatives, it's just that I really really hate not being home for New Years. Oh well. We can all agree that 2016 was a flaming shitshow and that we're going to erase it from the historical record, but it's also the year that I discovered comics and got into nonfiction, for which I am utterly grateful. Thank you Litsy for being a shining ball of sunshine in this gloomy year. ☀️ (check out the book on this post)

LauraBrook Right? Hope you have a good NYE - let's end this fucking year already! 🔥 7y

Eyelit I've had Echo on my list for a while but haven't picked it up yet because my library doesn't have all the volumes... is it worth seeking out? 7y

queerbookreader @Eyelit I liked the first volume! It's like a government/military secret weapons testing conspiracy which I'm always down for reading 👻 (edited) 7y

melbeautyandbooks Yes! 7y
