ISBN: 9781492180593 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Hai kur mamashu chis or "I want to tell you a story," as the Yagan grandmothers used to refer to their story-telling, is a journey through the landscape of the Yagan of old: a unique culture, rich in character, customs and beliefs.

A landscape which has always been open to the passage of humankind... Mamashu chis is the time when birds used to be humans, perhaps also the time before there was an understanding of all that exists, of even...

The Way of Kinship: An Anthology of Native Siberian Literature
ISBN: 9780816670802 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. That these treasures are available to us as writing is a miracle. . . . The writings here, while altogether modern in one sense, are based upon a literature, albeit oral, that has existed for thousands of years. They are the reflections of people who have lived long on the earth, on their own terms, in harmony with the powers of nature. They are invaluable to us who have so much to learn from them. These stories, poems, songs give us a way, a sacred way, into a world that we ought to know for its own sake. It is our own world, after all. --N. Scott Momaday, from the Foreword

Sovereign Erotics: A Collection of Two-Spirit Literature
ISBN: 9780816502424 / Angielski / Miękka / 223 str. Two-Spirit people, identified by many different tribally specific names and standings within their communities, have been living, loving, and creating art since time immemorial. It wasn't until the 1970s, however, that contemporary queer Native literature gained any public notice. Even now, only a handful of books address it specifically, most notably the 1988 collection Living the Spirit: A Gay American Indian Anthology. Since that book's publication twenty-three years ago, there has not been another collection published that focuses explicitly on the writing and art of Indigenous...
