A bird killed in the name of human power is in truth a loss of power from the world, not an addition to it. ("The Feathers" p15) - Linda Hogan

I began writing fiction because our lives are made up of stories and a story can change a life.

the more I observe the world, the more I learn about it, the more I think that there's a vast terrestrial intelligence all around us.

It has been my lifelong work to seek an understanding of the two views of the world, one as seen by native people and the other as seen by those who are new and young on this continent. It is clear that we have strayed from the treaties we once had with the land and with the animals. It is also clear, and heartening, that in our time there are many-Indian and non-Indian alike-who want to restore and honor these broken agreements. (Preface)
