Blackbird

REBLOG (12-30-21)   There is the #Mi'kmaq #Blackbird   The International Year of Indigenous Languages is a United Nations observance in 2019 that aims to raise awareness of the consequences of the endangerment of Indigenous languages across the world, with an aim to establish a link between language, development, peace, and reconciliation. To bring awareness to this important cause students at Allison Bernard Memorial High School in Eskasoni, Cape Breton recorded Paul McCartney's Blackbird in their native Mi'kmaq language.

what just happened?

 That is BOOK 2 in the series "IT'S A MIRACLE WE SURVIVED THIS FAR"

THAT IS A MARMOT

The thinker needs this one... Award winning journalist and multi-genre Indigenous author Trace L. Hentz offers critical concise and insightful examination of current events, historical and headline news, and delves into the esoteric in her powerful new creative non-fiction "WHAT JUST HAPPENED," the second in a series "It's a Miracle We've Survived This Far." As she explores in the book how the system isn't broken, it was built this way, she expands on what is missing from today's media coverage. 

"Our attention span is getting shorter so full-length books don't translate and work for most people, so this book is 200 pages with intense yet brief analysis from some of the best minds, living or dead." Hentz expands her interviews with the late Santee Sioux poet prophet musician John Trudell in the fourth section. 

Formatted in a similar fashion to her book MENTAL MIDGETS | Musqonocihte, WHAT JUST HAPPENED has new prose, poetry and her photography. How readers experience a book can be brutal intense uplifting or empowering, and Hentz's new book delivers all.  Publisher and poet Trace L Hentz is the editor and author of the historical best-selling book series "Lost Children of the Indian Adoption Projects." 

"I did read your book Mental Midgets. I go back to it again and again. I am amazed at your word power, insightfulness, truth and Vision." - Author Mary Ellen Ryall.

The journalist lives at the foothills of the Berkshires on Pocumtuckland with her soulmate Herb.

quote of the day

Like the crooked man who lived in a crooked house, it was the characterful, not to say skew-whiff, nature of the house that first drew him there: ‘It works quite well with the higgledy-piggledy of my collecting.’
