Anishinaabe writer and artist Heid Erdrich has been heartened to see several of her Native American artist friends turning their talents to making protective face masks. Their work features traditional fabrics and ribbons, turning the simple masks into spiritual and cultural works of art and solidarity. Sarah Agaton Howes, the owner of Heart Berry, has even put together a tutorial on mask-making. Erdrich says it reminds her of the jingle dress, which is believed to have been born out of the 1918 flu pandemic. Writer Claire Miller is reading a lot these days, and she was particularly taken with Mindy Mejia’s new novel “Strike Me Down,” featuring a female forensic accountant who is hired to track down $20 million in missing prize money. Miller says the story — which is set in Minneapolis — successfully transported her at a time when she really needed a break from reality. Interested in learning more about the book and the author?

Goeman shows how writers like E. Pauline Johnson, Joy Harjo, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Heid Erdrich point toward a Native future beyond the settler models of territory, jurisdiction, and race.
