LANGUAGE MATTERS

Diné alphabet card

I have a new memoir in the making, a collection of related essays written over a twenty-year period. These essays deal in various ways with my experience growing up in the fissure between Red and White worlds. A short new entry, introducing how I use language and how that usage relates to our post-colonial heritage, has posted to my blog.

INTEGRATION CONTROVERSY

Dear Friend,

 

"Integration Controversy," an excerpt from my essay, "In and Out," published in 2016 in Isthmus, has posted to my blog. I was the first White student to integrate the previously segregated dorms at Rehoboth Mission. The link to the full essay includes stories from Diné (Navajo) friends, as well as other boarding school experiences of my own.
