Firstnations Stories

This is a book for authors looking for faceclaims of people who are indigenous to the Americas.

I'm a Mohawk writer and thought blogs on Rez life may make a good diverse read for people. "Khiatons" means "I write" or "I am a writer" in Mohawk so I use it as my writing tag.

This is a story about a young First Nation boy by the name of Shkaabewis. His life begins on a good note but then turns tragic as he is taken away from his family to a residential school. (This is a children's story that I made, so it will be short).

First arc. For all my Latin friends reading this For some reason this is number one on the Latino category, arc 2 (Devil's Daughter) has much better Latino representation and features a Latino protagonist. Read that if you're here solely for representation Please vote and follow me if you enjoyed this. 1952, Jersey City. America is turned inside out. Follow a detective navigating a version of 1950s America where the social order and cultural rules aren't just different, they've completely flipped like a big fat Tortoise on its back. All rights reserved but will happily let people adapt my work as long as I get to review and approve of it first. No AI is used in any capacity.

Once Upon Now Grand Prize Winner published by Gallery Books. Sixteen-year-old Mira Sighansen never questions her place in the majestic wilderness of the Yukon Territory until she witnesses her brothers' oil rig explode. Refusing to believe the young men are dead, the teen's suspicions are strengthened when their bodies aren't found and she's later visited by six wild egrets. But these are no ordinary birds, and Mira is faced with a remarkable task not even the loss of her voice or the anger of her best friend (over a boy, of course!) can hamper. Convinced she can break a magical enchantment to bring her brothers back, Mira will risk jail and even psychiatric commitment to stop the rig from being rebuilt. Failure to overcome the doubts of her mayor mother, the opposition of her drilling foreman step-father, and the wrath of an industry thirsty for the valuable natural resource could mean not only the end of her family as she knows it, but also the loss of a vital part of her peoples' culture. This 9,000 word original short story is a modern-day retelling of the Brothers Grimm's fairy tale number forty-nine 'The Six Swans' with a First Nations twist. It was part of the #OnceUponNow contest sponsored by @Target for a chance to be included in a published anthology. As of July 5, 2016, it has made it into the Top 25 and as of August 16, 2016, it has been announced as one of the Top 10 Grand Prize winners.

Just a school project I did last year.

Just some stories either for school or just for fun. Some of these were written a long time ago so don't judge my thirteen years old thinking process.
