Interesting story about Jr a  Spokane growing up on the  Spokane Indian reservation. I think this is the 1st story I’ve read about a native American. If anyone can recommend any more, please do.

It was so quiet you can hear somebody drinking whiskey on the rocks three miles away.

Standing on the shore, I prayed for my dead. I praised them. I stupidly hoped the lake would heal my small wounds. Then I stripped off my clothes and waded naked into the water (Salt, Sherman Alexie) • . • #shermanalexie #salt #uopeople #masterineducation #engl1010 (at Caldas Novas, Goias, Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRbTM2eMEDB/?utm_medium=tumblr

When I first celebrated Thanksgiving as a newcomer to the US, I learned that it was about being grateful and being together with family. While the meaning of Thanksgiving is different to everyone, there's a history that we should not never forget. . . . #theabsolutediaryofaparttimeindian #happythanksgiving #bookquote #bujobook #novemberreads #shermanalexie #meaningofthanksgiving #socialdistancing #bookchat #bujodoodles #readeveryday #chatsach https://www.instagram.com/p/CIDuUUWh-Sg/?igshid=19i76o1ji3hgg

For a looooooong time, I refused to read stories by #nativeamericans and I didn’t understand why. I am Native American, so why? I finally figured out it had to do with never getting the stories I WANTED to hear from my father, who died when I was a teenager, and my Granny, who was such a private person when it came to her childhood. Getting information out of her was worse than pulling teeth. This is a picture of my Great Grandfather. All I really know about him is the emotion I heard in her voice whenever my Granny would show me his picture and say “This is my Daddy” and what I read in BIA records when I tried to research my family. I wish I knew more, but now that she too is gone, I’ll never know. I have lifted my subconscious ban on #indigenousauthors and am #currentlylisteningto #theabsoluteytruediaryofaparttimeindian by #shermanalexie Just because I can’t find out about my family doesn’t mean I can’t read about what it was like for others through their stories whether they be #fiction or #nonfiction #bookstagram #bipocvoices #bookgeek #bipocauthors #bookworm #bookish #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookaholicsanonymous #bibliotherapy #readersofinstagram #readmorebooks #reading #read https://www.instagram.com/p/CBtRN0vAgzb/?igshid=acdtombabf58

I read a book, yo! I picked up “You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me” after reading a recent review, and I couldn’t put it down. Sherman J. Alexie, Jr., a Spokane/Coeur d'Alene Indian, grew up on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Wellpinit, WA, and his memoir is full of heartbreaking, funny, and thought-provoking poems and essays about life on the reservation and his complicated relationship with his recently deceased mother. A beautiful read. #ireadabook #shermanalexie #youdonthavetosayyouloveme

Book number 31 for 2021 📖 The first short story collection that I read this year and my third time to finish a Sherman Alexie work. I really like his writing style. Humorous with a punch straight to your soul. Sharing my favorite quote from the book as well (because it makes so much sense): "He loved her, of course, but better than that, he chose her, day after day. Choice: that was the thing." Lastly: Your girl got her reading groove back this weekend. *chef's kiss with happy dance* 〰️ #TheToughestIndianintheWorld #ShermanAlexie #books #bookstagram #igreads #ireadbooksactually #nevernotreading https://www.instagram.com/p/CUSSRpbhJSC/?utm_medium=tumblr

met Sherman Alexie last night and the most intelligent thing I could say to one of my favorite authors was HI HOW ARE YOU (but he liked my sparkly eyeshadow and drew it in my book ✨🙃📖) #shermanalexie #tenevenings #iwantmystories
