Keep in mind: the NEH’s budget is 0.01% of the entire federal budget. This is not about savings - it is about the destruction of the Humanities and the critical thinking abilities that they teach. 🗃️

Hello Bluehive,
I’m also planning a special topics lit course, “Native American Women Authors: Indigenous Feminisms” for spring. I’m looking for any short fiction, poetry, essays, and novels that you know and love that speak to this theme. 1/3
