Native American Literature: Tribes and Tribulations

Image
For Redemption , the first book of my new Native American suspense thriller series, I feature the Taos Pueblo Reservation, located in northern New Mexico—a Native tribe that relies on the verbal art of storytelling to keep their culture alive. As a part Eastern Band Cherokee writer, it can be a tightrope dance deciding what to present to the outside world. Traditions and cultures established hundreds upon hundreds of years ago are to be protected, and yet if we do not share, no one knows what could be lost. The books below are written by Natives, about their land and what it means to be a member of a tribe, which illustrates whether Native or not, we all have a story that unites us—either by blood, or circumstances. Each of these books ease back the curtain so we can glimpse an existence readers are not usually privy to. The regions are varied, each character unique, and yet each of these writers open their arms and invite you in. If not for understanding, at least

Gwich’in author Matt Gilbert aims for the universe, and beyond

Image
Posted by KCAW News | May 2023 Gilbert’s “Chandera” trilogy is actually a five-parter: He’s working on two more books. An Indigenous Alaskan author is hoping to breakthrough into popular fiction. Matt Gilbert already has a pair of significant nonfiction books under his belt, but he wouldn’t mind crossing over into film work or novels set in a galaxy far, far away – in a genre that might be known one day as Gwich’in Sci-Fi. Note: Matt Gilbert’s science fiction is available under his pen name “Wolf Golan” online at Barnes & Noble and Amazon. His nonfiction books can be obtained both online and from bookstores everywhere. Matt Gilbert has written the serious stuff. The 2005 graduate of the University of Alaska in English Literature just published The Gwich’in Climate Report (University of Colorado Press, 2023), a compilation of his interviews with Athabaskan community members, hunters, and trappers on regional adaptation to climate change. An earlier book, Sitting at Thei

AI: It's bad news for all humans/writers | Say No to ChatGPT

AI destroyed both By Trace Hentz, founder of BHB I can only speak for myself - I WILL NEVER EVER use AI to generate any writing. I never have, and never will. First, I would feel so duped (cheated, scammed) to find out a book was written by artificial intelligence (AI) but has some famous author's name on it. (I really don't read much fiction but this affects all types of books. Publishers out to make a quick buck could find ways to create new fake authors,too.) Secondly, AI is not human. Sad to say, I think AI has already destroyed book publishing. AI has been around awhile. We don't really know how many authors have already used it - or will even admit it. It could be widespread already.  When I found out google and microsoft bing, (even wordpress) are using AI, I stopped searching with them. DUPED? How would you feel if your favorite writer didn't write his last book but you spent good money to buy it? Wouldn't you be ANGRY? If a writer DOES use AI to create a bo

 UPDATE: Poet Laureate Carol Rose GoldenEagle coming to share her works in Humboldt GoldenEagle's novel a vengeful twist on Missing and Murdered issue Walking her dog around Regina Beach every day, Carol Rose GoldenEagle would mull over how to dispose of dead bodies. Ashley Martin  •  Regina Leader-Post Oct 03, 2019  •  GoldenEagle's new novel Bone Black is about a woman who takes justice into her own hands when her sister becomes one of the many Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.   Walking her dog around Regina Beach every day, Carol Rose GoldenEagle would mull over how to dispose of dead bodies. She thought about all the ice fishers who drive onto not-quite-frozen parts of Last Mountain Lake and nearly lose their vehicles. “If you went on the lake a little earlier than probably what’s safe, the lake would actually take care of the forensic evidence,” said GoldenEagle. “And so I walked around thinking about ways of murdering (so
