Book Overview
Poetry. Native American Studies. Winner of the North American Native Authors First Book Award and The Diane Decorah Award for Poetry. These pages take us on a rich and fascinating journey, transporting us through history on memory's voices, singing a new vision of the familiar.

She carries us to the brink of discovery; her words push us over -- Kim Blaeser, author of TRAILING YOU. This poem began five hundred years ago / this morning when I traced the numbers / of generations of our grandchildren, / Mr Columbus.
