Claiming Breath by Diane Glancy
"Claiming Breath" is a poignant exploration of Native American identity, spirituality, and the complex interplay between personal and cultural history. Through a series of essays, the author delves into the struggles of living in a world where indigenous traditions are often marginalized by the dominant culture. The narrative weaves together reflections on language, nature, and family, offering a candid look at the challenges of claiming one's voice and place in a society that frequently overlooks the contributions and existence of Native peoples. The work stands as a testament to resilience and the enduring power of storytelling as a means of asserting presence and continuity amidst the forces of erasure and assimilation.
