Interesting reference, Jerry, thanks. I note that Ms Allen herself was of mixed ancestry and culture ("Born Oct. 24, 1939, in Grants, N.M., Paula Marie Francis grew up in Cubero, N.M. Her father, Elias Lee Francis, a former lieutenant governor of New Mexico, was of Lebanese descent. Her mother was Laguna Pueblo, Sioux and Scottish. Allen called her birth a multicultural event.") Such writers can be very successful at making a cultural bridge. I have learned a great deal about Chippewa ways, and the politics of Indian Bureau affairs, from the novels of Louise Erdrich, of similar ancestry and upbringing.
