About this audiobook
Editor's Note
Decolonize your bookshelf…
“Thunder Song,” LaPointe’s memoir-in-essays, explores life as a queer Native woman in America. Weaving first-person experiences with her great-grandmother’s stories, LaPointe reflects on identity, music, politics, and activism, and the ongoing work to decolonize each. This is a welcomed invitation to witness the author’s modern indigenous experience.
