Linda Hogan Livres

Oklahoma, Territoire indien, années 1920. Sur ces terres arides et désolées, la découverte de gisements de pétrole fait la fortune des propriétaires indiens, les Osages. Les tenants blancs du pouvoir usent alors de tous les moyens pour les déposséder, s'approprier en toute impunité leurs concessions, et autour de la famille Graycloud morts et emprisonnements suspects se multiplient. Le phénomène s'amplifiera, et Red Hawk, agent sioux du 17131, est envoyé, tardivement, par Washington pour enquêter sur ces exactions... S'appuyant sur des faits réels, Linda Hogan met en lumière la rencontre impossible de deux mondes. L'univers spirituel indien demeure très présent, avec cette puissance évocatrice de la narration qui réside dans le non-dit. A travers cette œuvre poignante, c'est toute l'histoire des peuples d'Amérique qui transparaît et, au-delà, celle d'un drame planétaire qui se perpétue.

Winner of the (Inaugural) 2022 National Book Foundation Science + Literature AwardFrom a celebrated Chickasaw writer, a spiritual meditation, in prose and poetry, on our relationship to the animal world, in an illustrated gift package.Concerned that human lives and the natural world are too often defined by people who are separated from the land and its inhabitants, Indigenous writer and environmentalist Linda Hogan depicts her own intense relationships with animals as an example we all can follow to heal our souls and reconnect with the spirit of the world. From her modest forest home in Colorado, and venturing throughout the region, especially to her beloved Oklahoma, she introduces us to horses, packrats, snakes, mountain lions, elks, wolves, bees, and so many others whose presence has changed her life. In this illuminating collection of essays and poems, lightly sprinkled with elegant drawings, Hogan draws on many Native nations’ ancient stories and spiritual traditions to show us that the soul exists in those delicate places where the natural world extends into human consciousness—in the mist of morning, the grass that grew a little through the night, the first warmth of this morning’s sunlight. Altogether, this beautifully packaged gift is a reverential reminder for all of us to witness and appreciate the radiant lives of animals.

From Pulitzer Prize finalist Linda Hogan, Solar Storms tells the moving, “luminous” ( Publishers Weekly ) story of Angela Jenson, a troubled Native American girl coming of age in the foster system in Oklahoma, who decides to reunite with her family.At seventeen, Angela returns to the place where she was raised—a stunning island town that lies at the border of Canada and Minnesota—where she finds that an eager developer is planning a hydroelectric dam that will leave sacred land flooded and abandoned. Joining up with three other concerned residents, Angela fights the project, reconnecting with her ancestral roots as she does so.Harrowing, lyrical, and boldly incisive, Solar Storms is a powerful examination of the clashes between cultures and traumatic repercussions that have shaped American history.

Early in this century, rivers of oil were found beneath Oklahoma land belonging to Indian people, and beautiful Grace Blanket became the richest person in the Territory. But she was murdered by the greed of white men, and the Graycloud family, who cared for her daughter, began dying mysteriously. Letters sent to Washington, D.C. begging for help went unanswered, until at last a Native American government official, Stace Red Hawk, traveled west to investigate. What he found has been documented by history: rampant fraud, intimidation, and murder. But he also found something truly extraordinary--his deepest self and abiding love for his people, and their brave past.

In this powerful collection of "Sightings, " award-winning Native American author Hogan teams up with acclaimed novelist Peterson to document the serene beauty, mystery, and controversy surrounding gray whales as they migrate from Alaska to Mexico. 16-page full-color photo insert.
