Old Woman with Berries in Her Lap

Beschreibung

"Through a single descendant's voice that speaks to the Sâami diaspora, this collection of poems is a journey through colonialism, transgenerational trauma, and identity. Many have heard of the Sâami reindeer herders brought to Alaska by Sheldon Jackson in the 1800s, but not much is known about the Sâami diaspora experiences"--Provided by publisher.
