| Introduction | "Every word I am writing to you now is written in a Colonial context. Anyone living in the United States who is not fully Native American is a product and beneficiary of a very brutal and rabid colonialism. It is why I am writing to you in English. We conveniently elide that part of our own history, pretending it doesn't exist because it is 'so far in the past' and then project our own guilt onto the more recent colonialists. Nothing is pure. No one is pure." - Mary Zimmerman |
