blue, like Night Sky: a hippy chick's ride inside Indian Country

Published by WIld EMbers Press (2013). Set in "Indian Country", near the Dineh (Navajo) ancestral homelands of Big Mountain, Az. "blue" is based on true events. The fictional story is the second of a trilogy of books based on the author's life inside the American Indian Movement. "blue" is a fiction, yet reflects "Indian life" in the last half of the 20th century and is inspired by the Dineh resistance movement--their attempt to maintain a Traditional life on their homelands. It is the story of two women who met in the 1980's: one Dineh and the other, a hippy "transplant" from back East. The book is mythological in the telling, yet includes true stories about life in resistance, coupled with documented, historical newsclips and excerpts from actual taped interviews. Overall, "blue" is about a "hippie chick's" ride through Indian Country, who she meets, and why. Weaving, the truth of lies and living on the Land. antoinette nora suggests in her new introduction (June 2013) to this story: "Enter blue, like Night Sky as though you are a planet and children are making wishes on your radiance. Because. They are." Please note that partial proceeds from the sale of this book are donated to traditional Dineh families.
