Courte biographie: Greg Sarris has held the Graton Rancheria Endowed Chair in Creative Writing and Native American Studies in the School of Arts & Humanities at Sonoma State University since 2005; and he is currently serving his fourteenth consecutive term as Chair of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. His tribal nation had been “terminated” in 1958, but Sarris led a successful campaign to restore federal recognition, then renew economic development. Sarris has led Graton Rancheria through the difficult process of casino and hotel development, cultivated extensive partnerships and philanthropies, and built an equitable partnership with unions for fair wage and employment standards. He is an exemplary elected tribal leader. His career is also marked by exceptional achievement as both a credentialed scholar and writer with a body of work spanning short stories, novels, nonfiction, and scripts for both television and theater.

The Forgetters: Stories par Greg Sarris

Greg Sarris' The Forgetters draws from Native American history and lore, constructing a chain of stories that offer us the opportunity to look at our own time in new ways. The storytellers are a pair of sister crows: Question Woman, who asks questions, and Story Woman, who answers those questions with stories. These sisters have seen too many forgettings, and when stories are forgotten cultural knowledge is lost and the lessons underlying the stories fade, allowing us to repeat the mistakes of the past.

I found myself growing increasingly fond of the crow sisters, Question Woman and Story Woman, as the book progressed. I also found myself moved by the stories they tell. We do forget. And we do repeat our mistakes. Question Woman and Answer Woman remind us that at one time people, animals, and plants were all "people," who could interact with one another. Because we've forgotten that, we treat plants and animals as commodities, which undercuts our humanity and our respect for the beings who surround us.

The Forgetters is the sort of book one can read in bursts, taking in a story, sitting with it, reflecting on the crow sisters' thoughts about the story. In fact, I think this is the best way to read the book. The stories are lessons, and we need to live with each before moving on to the next.

I received a free electronic review copy of this title from the publisher via Edelweiss; the opinions are my own.… (plus d'informations)
