      Winner of the (Inaugural) 2022 National Book Foundation Science + Literature AwardFrom a celebrated Chickasaw writer, a spiritual meditation, in prose and poetry, on our relationship to the animal world, in an illustrated gift package.Concerned that human lives and the natural world are too often defined by people who are separated from the land and its inhabitants, Indigenous writer and environmentalist Linda Hogan depicts her own intense relationships with animals as an example we all can follow to heal our souls and reconnect with the spirit of the world. From her modest forest home in Colorado, and venturing throughout the region, especially to her beloved Oklahoma, she introduces us to horses, packrats, snakes, mountain lions, elks, wolves, bees, and so many others whose presence has changed her life. In this illuminating collection of essays and poems, lightly sprinkled with elegant drawings, Hogan draws on many Native nations’ ancient stories and spiritual traditions to show us that the soul exists in those delicate places where the natural world extends into human consciousness—in the mist of morning, the grass that grew a little through the night, the first warmth of this morning’s sunlight. Altogether, this beautifully packaged gift is a reverential reminder for all of us to witness and appreciate the radiant lives of animals.

      Oklahoma, Territoire indien, années 1920. Sur ces terres arides et désolées, la découverte de gisements de pétrole fait la fortune des propriétaires indiens, les Osages. Les tenants blancs du pouvoir usent alors de tous les moyens pour les déposséder, s'approprier en toute impunité leurs concessions, et autour de la famille Graycloud morts et emprisonnements suspects se multiplient. Le phénomène s'amplifiera, et Red Hawk, agent sioux du 17131, est envoyé, tardivement, par Washington pour enquêter sur ces exactions... S'appuyant sur des faits réels, Linda Hogan met en lumière la rencontre impossible de deux mondes. L'univers spirituel indien demeure très présent, avec cette puissance évocatrice de la narration qui réside dans le non-dit. A travers cette œuvre poignante, c'est toute l'histoire des peuples d'Amérique qui transparaît et, au-delà, celle d'un drame planétaire qui se perpétue.

      Als eines Nachts ein verheerender Sturm das Land der Taiga verwüstet, wird Omishto Zeugin, wie ihre Tante Ama einen der selten gewordenen Florida Panther tötet. Ein Tier, das vom Volk der Taiga als heiliger Urahn verehrt wird. Die Tötung des vom Aussterben bedrohten Tieres ruft nicht nur die Empörung der Naturschützer hervor, sondern Ama muß sich auch vor dem Ältestenrat der Taiga für ihre Tat verantworten. Für Omishto ist dieses Erlebnis ein Moment der Entscheidung: Wählt sie den Weg, den ihre Mutter eingeschlagen hat und sagt sich von den Stammesriten und der abergläubischen Unterwerfung unter die Natur los? Oder stellt sie sich gegen ihre Familie auf die Seite der traditionellen Stammesmitglieder, die ihr Leben den Gesetzen der Natur unterworfen haben, und für die der Tod des Panthers eine Bedrohung für das Überleben des Stammes bedeutet? Eindrucksvoll und mit kraftvoller Sprache schildert Linda Hogan den Reifeprozeß einer jungen Frau, die versucht, ihren eigenen Weg zwischen Tradition und Modernität, zwischen Spiritualität und Rationalität zu finden.
