SUMMARY:“Believing in Indians” with Tony Tekaroniake Evans
DESCRIPTION:Coming of age during an era of assimilation and cultural erasur
 e\, 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 th
 e house? Thus begins a comical\, informative\, and heartbreaking literary j
 ourney in search of his Indigenous identity. From childhood fantasies to al
 tered states of consciousness\, studies in cultural anthropology\, and trav
 els in Indian Country\, Evans takes an uncle’s invitation to learn the de
 eper significance of his Iroquois traditions\, yielding a personal philosop
 hy based on Indigenous values that resist the excesses of consumer culture 
 and could renew the American Dream.\\n\\nTony Tekaroniake Evans is an enrol
 led member of the Kahnawake Mohawks of Quebec\, and an award-winning report
 er and columnist for the Idaho Mountain Express. His stories have also been
  published in High Country News\, A&E Networks’ History.com\, Atmos\, Mou
 ntain Gazette\, The Smithsonian’s American Indian Magazine and other publ
 ications. He earned a degree in Cultural Anthropology from the University o
 f Colorado and won the Expatriate Scholarship to the Prague Summer Writer�
 �s Workshop in 1996. He is the author of Teaching Native Pride: Upward Boun
 d and the Legacy of Isabel Bond and other books. His work is supported by g
 rants from the Idaho Humanities Council. He has lived in Idaho’s Sun Vall
 ey region for over thirty years.
