It’s the end of the day and I can’t come up with a good title so, here it is….

Remember by Joy Harjo

Jake Makes a World: Jacob Lawrence, a Young Artist in Harlem by Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts

February 3, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The theme of the review: Cool books you need on your shelves to read. And  CBR15Passport, new to me author(s) (but I know one artist) When you pick up Remember by Joy Harjo you will find a poetic piece of artwork. Michaela Goade adds to this by painting imagery that is bold, bright, deep, romantic, serious, and light. The mixture of the text and illustrations gives a story of family, the individuality, and the authors Mvskoke Nation heritage. It is a celebration of looking around […]

I promise there is pudding under the whipped cream (I needed a snack break)

Trickster: Native American Tales, A Graphic Collection by Matt Dembicki,

November 21, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I would like to compare the newer edition (2021) of Trickster: Native American Tales, A Graphic Collection to the one I read (2010) as some of the text used does not reflect modern expressions or what is considered politically correct. However, the afterwards of the editor Matt Dembicki, shows the process of working with the authors, storytellers and artists and the care taken to represent the people. This is a good book to teach how cultures express themselves (language flow fits cultural influences), plus how […]

“The thing to keep in mind is that laws are framed by those who happen to be in power and for the purpose of keeping them in power.”

Lakota Woman by Mary Crow Dog

December 25, 2021 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

Like many, my formal education didn’t contain much indigenous history, and certainly almost none about modern indigenous history. Reading Women task 8 was read a memoir by an Indigenous, First Nations, Native, or Aboriginal Woman which helped move Lakota Woman up my TBR (I had added it in 2015 for a similar Read Harder task but I read Rabbit-Proof Fence instead). It certainly didn’t hurt that it was also the Indigenous Reading Circle’s choice for November (the group that inspired the Reading Women task). Lakota […]

“we all got thick skin, but we still gotta let people in.”

Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead

December 18, 2021 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

Jonny has to get home to the reservation he grew up on for his stepfather’s funeral. What transpires in this book is almost a near stream-of-consciousness retelling of the moments that have brought him to this moment in his life. Without a care for time or linearity, Jonny invites us into his life to show us his memories and to highlight the love he has felt for his family, his friends, and for himself. One thing you should know going in to this book is […]

Three strikes! You’re IN

Sharice’s Big Voice: A Native Kid Becomes a Congress Woman by Sharice Davids

December 14, 2021 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

She had “three strikes” against her: she was female, a Native American and queer. But that did not stop Sharice Davids. She took her passion, the support of friends, family, and her community, along with her “big voice,” and showed people what she could and would do. After a long, difficult, but I would suggest rewarding, journey, this allowed her to be one of the only Native American women elected to Congress and the first GLBTQ person to represent Kansas. Sharice’s Big Voice: A Native […]

Get to know Echo before her series streams on Disney+

Daredevil: Parts of a Hole by David Mack, Joe Quesada, Jimmy Palmiotti

November 18, 2021 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

This graphic novel comprises the series of stories by David Mack and Joe Quesada that introduce the character Echo — a young woman who is deaf and Native American, and who possesses extraordinary ability to physically mimic whatever she sees. This allows her to become an excellent musician, dancer, and, yes, a fighter. I first learned about this character from Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection which opens with a short piece about Echo by David Mack, who himself has Cherokee heritage. The pairing of Echo […]
