The lead authors separated these pieces into the four natural parts of our story: Tówla (Root), Kúp (Sleep, Dormant), Wólnish (Cultivate), and $ó'a (Bloom), with each section exploring the eras of pre-contact, post-contact, present, and future. \u003c\/p\u003eCollectively, these pieces portray the multifarious effects of colonization on Indigenous people of this area, from the California Mission system, to the traumatic assimilationist policies that are still felt today. At the same time, a focus on ancestral teachings, the nostalgia of growing up on the rez, and the joys of (self)love and independence can be found in a way that defies these wounds. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Now is the time for us to tell our stories before they are written for us by anthropologists, archeologists, historians, or non-Indians. When we write for ourselves and tell our own stories, we remind the world that we are still present, existing, and resisting. We are not a part of history, but rather a continuously flourishing community of modern Indigenous people who march defiantly into the future.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContributors: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnnalisa Berrios \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApril Bouchard \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmily Burgueno \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKelly Caballero \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmily Clarke \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamaray Davalos \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMegan Dorame \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Marlene' Dusek \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeadow Fuller \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Theresa Gregor \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCasse Kihúut \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlaniz Míyexwe netéw'e Jenah Lattin! \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErica Lopez \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvelakayawaywish Macarro \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRebecca Macarro \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoyomi McDarment \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlexis Munoa Dyer \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMakayla Murillo \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmanda Nogales \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenevra Munoa \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTristen Orosco \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKaitra Sbragia \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoyomi Thopishin (Jasmin Curlin) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNichole Vasquez-Sutter \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesiree Wetz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.7 x 6.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 20, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51764794458400,"sku":"9781942279341","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/5f7c9662d408b9fe30710aaaaf600d84.webp?v=1780254886","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/yaamay-an-anthology-of-feminine-perspectives-across-indigenous-california-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
