I think about the positive identity development of Native youth all the time and not just because I am an educator and author. I love my Ojibwe language and culture, but I want to turn Native fiction on its head. We have so many stories about trauma and tragedy with characters who lament the culture that they were always denied. I want to show how vibrant and alive our culture still is. I want gripping stories where none of the Native characters are drug addicts, rapists, abused, or abusing others. I want to demonstrate the magnificence of our elders, the humor of our people, and the power of forgiveness and reconciliation. —Anton Treuer

There is a lot of road behind us, and even more ahead. It now falls upon us to take stock of the 100-year milestone of Indigenous citizenship in America and hold our nation accountable to delivering the freedom and equality that will humanize us all and help heal our troubled nation.” —Anton Treuer
