Title: Reading List
Post by: Pono Aloha on August 30, 2012, 07:12:42 pm

This website devoted to Native voices on healing has a list of suggested books. Some look quite good, like Vine Deloria's. Wondering about the others. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/nativevoices/resources/suggested-readings-general-public.html

RE: Hensley, William L. I??ia?ruk (Iñupiaq). Fifty Miles from Tomorrow: A Memoir of Alaska and the Real People. New York: Sarah Crichton Books, 2009.

Hensley was a president of NANA, the Northwest Alaska Native Association (this link says he was a founder: http://www.alaskool.org/projects/biography/WHensley-bio.htm). The book is a memoir of his childhood growing up with his aunt and uncle in Alaska (he is half Inupiaq/half Eastern European, but never knew his Euro father), getting an education in the lower 48 and becoming an activist and politician. I believe it is legit (also well-written).
