"This poet holds the stories, the language, the dances, and visions of the sacred animals. She stands between worlds. The healing involves all of us and needs our awareness, our differences, our likeness to weave together what has been separated in and among all of us."

"As a wild tangling and untangling of contemporary cultural worldviews (and their horrors) with traditional lifeways and experiences, Nia To Go There's poems illuminate, challenge, inspire and educate."
--Chris La Tray, Montana Poet Laureate 2023-2025, Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians
