Ten contemporary stories, many settings

This collection brings together ten stories about American Indians, set against everyday and communal backdrops: a supermarket checkout, a freezing lake at dawn, a school gym dance and a televised hockey game. The settings place the characters in varied situations, while the stories themselves range from funny and sarcastic to serious and poignant. Together, they present Native American experiences as part of an ongoing story, told through multiple characters and circumstances rather than a single narrative.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in short-story collections.
  • Readers seeking fiction centered on Native American characters and experiences.
  • Readers who enjoy collections that vary in setting and mood.

Book overview

The ten stories that make up this collection are raw, original, and fresh. Although they are all about American Indians, they are as different from one another as they are from anything you've read before.
A supermarket checkout line, a rowboat on a freezing lake at dawn, a drunken dance in the gym, an ice hockey game on public-access TV. These are some of the backgrounds against which ten outstanding authors have created their memorable characters. Their work -- both poignant and funny, sarcastic and serious -- reminds us that the American Indian story is far from over -- it's being written every day.
