It is a still day, everything silent. Even the wind isn't blowing. There is just a breeze of something living, like the breath of the universe. (p281) - Linda Hogan

The anthropologists and those studying tribal peoples too often write their own interpretation of what is said because they are unable to see larger, to think beyond their own thinking enough to come to what is really spoken, meant, and known about the world. For indigenous peoples, each place has its own intelligence, its own stories.

It is more about murder and theft, the true stories of what happened during the Oklahoma oil boom.

The real place of writing is to make change in the world, and it's a very powerful medium.
