| The
Hannahville Poets, is a joint effort between Nah Tah Wahsh/Hannahville
Indian School students and myself, Nah Tah Wahsh high school
English teacher, showcasing student work from the past 10 years.
The writing emphasizes the students feelings about growing up in both the red and white worlds and the importance of elders and traditional teachings. I compiled, edited and typeset the book, working with student editors. The book was then printed locally and published by the Hannahville Potawatomi tribe. Our intent was to show the maturing thoughts of Indian high school students; to provide a vehicle demonstrating reading and writing skills (other than standardized tests); and to show the tribal and global communities the joy -- and pain -- that fill the world of today's indigenous student. The writings were produced and collected over the past 10 years, a generation. Topics included native pride, ceremonies, traditional teachings, family, childhood, and death. Student artwork and photographs were included. (All writing was submitted to turnitin.com, a plagiarism website, and all artwork was signed off by the student or their parent to ensure authenticity and publishing rights.) |
