Believing in Indians
Tony Tekaroniake Evans
Coming of age during an era of assimilation and cultural erasure, Tony Tekaroniake Evans was told by his third-grade teacher that Indians no longer exist. How could this be when his grandmother spoke Mohawk in the house? Thus begins a comical, informative, and heartbreaking literary journey in search of his Indigenous identity. Evans pursues the deeper significance of his Iroquois traditions, shatters stereotypes, challenges assumptions, and offers candid insights on his own as well as Native peoples' struggles and triumphs. Ultimately, his story becomes an affirmation that loyalty to family, with all its quirks and heartaches, is the quintessential ideology.
