Sorry I missed this! Thank you for the fellowship and for your kindness & support. There is a persistent habit by mainstream media to dominate space/stories, even to obliterate or write over Indigenous ppls existence. These stories are important.

A photo: the face of me, the author, a brown-haired bespectacled person, peering over a copy of the DANCE FAST picture book. The book’s cover shows a smiling brown girl dancing with a blue ribbon skirt and Pomo dance regalia including a headpiece and hair stick. Ribbons spell out the title.
