Biografía
Important Native voices: While most publications focus on the larger communities of Native people in the western United States, Upon Her Shoulders is a long overdue documentation of the narratives of Southeast Native American women. This anthology includes an interview with Cherokee language specialist Marie Junaluska by Annette Saunooke Clapsaddle (Even As We Breathe, 2020), a member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. Historic and ongoing fight for recognition: Upon Her Shoulders contains work from women of the Lumbee Tribe in North Carolina, where their often-overlooked tribal community has struggled for federal recognition. Educational and community connections: The Lumbee community is centered around Robeson County, North Carolina, where the University of North Carolina at Pembroke (and two of this collection’s editors) are located. Documentary approach: The work in this volume is documentary in that the stories and essays showcase the work of everyday people and professional writers alike.
