My article with The Texas Observer is now online! The title means “return to the land of many houses,” which is our (Lipan Apache) word for home. In this article, I write about the rematriation of an elder (my relative) who lived in KÍŁÁÁHÍÍ about 750 years ago. www.texasobserver.org/lipan-apache...
I’m working on a great big essay about my family tree, particularly because we’ve done a lot of digging this year as part of Federal recognition documentation. It probably won’t be done until March or April, but it’s in the kiln.

SOON, I’ll start working on the Adult Book. Trying to devise an elevator pitch here.
After L’s heroic ancestor is reburied, an ancient rivalry awakens. Can L—a depressed millennial nobody who works at a magic shop—outmatch a legendary trickster?
Inspired by my family & love of stage magic.

This week—learning that my book was banned & confronting state-imposed censorship of concepts like “diversity” and “oppression”—have been discouraging. I got a new book coming & don’t know what the future brings. BUT. The more The Powers That Be try to silence me, the louder I’ll become.

Elatsoe is not just one of the best YA books I’ve read. It is one of the best stories I’ve ever read.

I taught Elatsoe in a college course in Florida a few years ago and students loved it so much. This sucks.

It was the same University (Weber) that did this: www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty...
Weber State Censors, Then Cancels, Censorship Conference
University officials said that several planned presentations violated a Utah state law banning diversity, equity and inclusion at public universities.

Last month, Weber State University cancelled a conference *on censorship* after it became clear that all of the presenters (including me) would have to censor their material to comply with HB 261. I applaud your integrity and am here to commiserate—it’s a terrible law with terrible consequences.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
