In "Last Breath:" A boy on a hunting trip with his father questions the need to kill animals sacred to the Sami people and culture.
"Ode to Obscured Ancestors," speaks to the quiet endurance passed through generations and the ancestral voices that still sing through silence.
Author's Note: This story was written in consultation with a Sámi advisor (poet and activist Elise Maren) and includes elements of their spirituality. The Sámi are a Native tribe found in Norway, northern Sweden, Finland, and Russia's Kola Peninsula. Like all Native tribes, they faced colonization and genocide throughout their history. They continue to face discrimination to this day. For more information, visit https://www.samigeaidnu.com/ and read We Stopped Forgetting: Stories from Sámi Americans by Ellen Marie Jensen (can be found on the Everand site.)
