I recently read Poisonwood Bible.
Very well written and very sad.
Insightful.
Fiction.
Then at the MKSN CONF we bought The Missionary Myth by one of the Mamou survivors.
Another sad story.
A true one.
Although hope was afforded to the author by involvement with Native Americans who are
seeking justice for their treatment in the history of our country--boarding school used to take their culture away.
Wes Stafford's book just arrived in the mail.
Someone suggested it to us at the Conf.
Who?
Ask Shary for our email and let us know so we can thank you!
Similar in setting to Poisonwood Bible
but again, this is a true story that Stafford writes
His own story.
Just as sad a story, but written in a different tone.
His story and what he has done about it.
Is there no end to these stories?
It would appear that there isn't from this site.
And each story is important and longing to be told.
At the right time.
We are thankful for what we are learning---AGAIN!
Over and over.
Now
What will WE do?
