ABOUT THE AUTHOR





 

She:kon greetings from the rez. The struggles being faced on the rez need to be heard. We kids battle things like no internet, thought of as a problem and obstacle rather than as a person, poor drinking water, reduced quality of education, you name it. Just today I told my mom I bet the residential schools didn't seem real to many people. The orange shirts were a trend or something. Until they started finding the bodies of the children buried at the schools. My grandma always told us the children and babies were there. Thousands of them. I mean, really serious stuff. Think about it, a stranger could come into your house, take your kids to these schools and you might never see them again. This effects all of us.

So, I decided to start writing to bring encouragement and to give myself a voice. I have had to fight hard to get the education others get so easily. I know what it is to be pushed aside or to be compared to other students who never experienced a rez life. I believe everyone can learn even the hardest stuff if given a chance and support. STEM is hard stuff, but our greatest breakthroughs will come from our brightest young minds -- and every child matters in everything. I'm finishing up a series from the perspective of Big G, dealing with bias, battles, wins, struggles, rez dogs, rez cops, great friends, and a few teachers who were simply sent from heaven with big hearts, and just a lot from a rez kids' point of view.

Thanks for the support and keep on writing those awesome reviews. Many Nya:wens - thanks. Stay encouraged!




MY REVIEW:

The Tree That Went for a Walk: An Amazing Adventure in Believing
by Garrett Summers 
Very colorful children's book. This one is about a tree and they become happy when things others are doing excite them.
The blue bird is first, then the children, the pinwheels, more children, the moon and they realize a few things. The happy tree want to do the same things and anything is possible.
So simple yet elegant. It's about things that we see every day. Very positive story.
Love that he author's grandma helped him with his story. I've done the same for my grandson. PRICELESS!
