The Remembering (Climate Fiction), Oceti Sakowiƞ Territory, South Dakota
In The Remembering, Čuŋksi suddenly hears a voice in her head telling of the future to come, and the ancestral knowledge that can change it.
“I hope my stories inspire other rez kids to tell rez stories of thriving Indigenous communities, knowledges, and languages. I hope they inspire others to view reservation communities from our strengths and all we have to offer in the impending climate crisis.”
