About me

Gender Female
Occupation teacher, retired
Location Eugene, Oregon
Introduction I am a citizen of the Winnemem Wintu Tribe. I am a Nikkei descendant sansei (third generation);retired teacher, involved in the Winnemem tribal responsibility to Water, Salmon, and our belief that the Sacred is our Teacher. Working locally for human rights and supporting youth leadership.
Favorite Music Pete Seeger says, "Songs are sneaky things. They can slip across borders. Proliferate in prisons. Penetrate hard shells."
Favorite Books All poetry especially Lawson Inada, Janice Mirikitani, everything by Louise Erdrich and Barbara Kingsolver, Sandra Cisneros, Ruth Ozeki, and I read Malcolm X every decade and it changes each time for me. I guess it's time for my 60's since I dreamed about reading Malcolm X and then in my dream was in the Maori classroom in South Island with a Malcolm X poster in their room. I love reading anything ab/Cuba. And cooking memoirs and cookbooks which tell a story. MYSTERIES. Loved Lacuna!!

That can't really be a fish you're standing on, can it?

You noticed! No, it's a fish that I'm following! It may look like I'm standing on it because the fish is fundamental and foundational to Salmon People. Sawal maiumus baales bom!
