@wendinoakland So, here's a recommendation for you. Have you read the book "Night of the Living Rez" by #MorganTalty? That was an excellent read. Having spent time on Indian Island, I felt like I was transported back there. I can't wait for his next book!

5. Follow these notable Indigenous artists and leaders

(I would add the late musician/activist #KleeBenally, writer #MorganTalty, and artist/activist #JacobJohns to this list -- feel free to add more names...)

"Check out award-winning journalist #BrandiMorin (Cree/Iroquois); Miss Universe Canada 2024 Ashley Callingbull (Enoch Cree); Emmy nominee Lily Gladstone (Piegan Blackfeet/Siksikaitsitapi & Nez Perce/Nimíipuu); Amber Midthunder (Fort Peck Assiniboine & Sioux) from Prey; boxer/actress Kali Reis (Wampanoag); author, playwright, and community leader Melissa Tantequidgeon (Mohegan); Elder Gary O'Neil (Wangunk); US Treasurer Marilynn Malerba (Mohegan); 2024 National Teacher of the Year Wunneanatsu Lamb-Cason (Schaghticoke/HoChunk); filmmaker Sterlin Harjo (Seminole); artist Wendy Red Star (Apsáalooke/Crow); researcher Abigail Echo-Hawk (Pawnee), comedian #DallasGoldtooth (Dakota and Diné); Emmy nominee, model Quannah ChasingHorse (Hän Gwich'in , Sicangu and Oglala Lakota); musician Tia Wood (Plains Cree and Coast Salish); fashion designer Lauren Good Day (Arikara, Hidatsa, Blackfeet, Plains Cree)."

Unexpected snow days at work means more time to read! Working on these three titles right now. I suppose the common theme is "murder" and "#NewEngland" -- two subjects that are in my wheelhouse. #Books #Bookstadon #CurrentlyReading
