Frank Waln’s truth, Lyla June’s spirit, Supaman’s energy and you might
get close to Lara’s fiercely beautiful voice. She has been forced
through the sieve of many names, but she presses on, sings for herself
and for many. It is code, she says, in this book’s first pages. She lets
the reader decode the mystery.
When Lara lifts John Trudell’s
voice she lifts her own. “We’re not taught about our personal
relationship to power. We’re not taught about our relationship to the
Great Spirit. Recognizing power is what you have to do. When you
recognize it, you exercise it. You can’t take back what they have
already taken but you can stop the taking of your power, once you
recognize it.” She lifts her own voice as she investigates the absence
of Indian history, the erasure of Indian lives, the loss of Indian
identity in many ways including adoption.
Lara lifts mostly
directly through her poetry in “Masks” and “I Shook” and “When a
trickle… becomes a river.. then a flood” and “I Wasn’t Ready For Her To
Die” and most powerfully in “Ghost Shell.” It’s hard to leave the impact
of her words behind.
She writes, “a good poet would never let a
good catastrophe go to waste.” She shares the Hopi prophecy, “Now is
the time, we are the ones we have been waiting for.” In all her
powerful, hip-hop-like words, her closing statements resonate. In them
Lara writes,
“All our suffering is mutual.
All our healing is mutual.
All our thriving is mutual.”

When Hentz moved to Massachusetts in 2004 she began to tirelessly investigate numerous adoption programs, such as the Indian Adoption Projects and ARENA (The Adoption Resource Exchange of America). Both involved moving (trafficking) Native American babies and children across North America into adoptions with non-Native families. After her 2009 memoir, “One Small Sacrifice” and a second edition, which followed in 2012, Hentz met more adoptees and asked them to write their personal narratives, which resulted in five anthologies: “Two Worlds: Lost Children” (2012), “Called Home: The RoadMap,” (updated sec

John Christian Hopkins, a member of the Rhode Island Narragansett Indian Tribe, is a descendant of King Ninigret, patriarch of the tribe’s last hereditary royal family. Hopkins is a career journalist who has worked at newspapers across the U.S. and has been a nationally syndicated columnist for Gannett News Service. He and his wife Sararesa live on her Navajo reservation in Arizona. Hopkins, a member of the Narragansett Indian Tribe, returned to his home state of Rhode Island to speak at Bryant University in Smithfield, R.I. on March 6 2013 and the Tomaquag Indian Museum in Exeter, R.I., March 8. “Carlomagno” is an imaginative “what-if” blend of historical fact and fiction. It tells the story of an American Indian youth that is sold into slavery in the West Indies, escapes bondage, becomes a pirate on the Spanish Main and fights for a chance to return to the American Colonies. Hopkins’ newest work is “Loki: God of Mischief” (Blue Hand
