So you think Native American stories are all hymns of devotion to Mother Earth?  Well, you don’t know Wolverine, the Labrador Innu trickster figure. He makes the comic book superhero seem like little more than a two bit punk.   When Wolverine is on the scene, weird things can and do happen — birch trees have eyes, a pile of shit can talk, and farts can literally kill.   Recommended not just to devotees of Native American culture, but also to readers in search of a chuckle if not a rip-roaring laugh. 3

  • Goodbye, Ice
    Lawrence Millman
    Unlike most books of poems nowadays, Goodbye, Ice by Lawrence Millman has a strong ecological bias. The book offers a window on the natural world of the Arctic and its tradition-bound indigenous people. Climate change, inevitably, raises its ugly head in many of the poems, but the book itself is a lament not just for the loss of ice, but for the loss of the Arctic itself. 3 ...
