Compiled by Sgt. Rod McAllister Tribal author’s book acquired by Tu Books Tribal Elder Charlene Willing McManis’ book “Indian No More” has been acquired by Tu Books for publication scheduled to occur in the fall of 2019. “Indian No More” is a middle grade novel set in the 1950s. It tells the story of a 10-year-old Umpqua girl and her family’s Tribal rights being terminated and they must relocate from their Reservation in Oregon to Los Angeles, where they are expected to assimilate. McManis is the daughter of Charles Willing and Chitsh Maud, who were born on the Grand Ronde Reservation. She lived in Grand Ronde until she was 4 when her family relocated to Los Angeles as part of the federal relocation program. “I’m hoping to let children know about this event and how it affected us,” McManis said. McManis, 64, lives in Vermont. Portland Culture Classes Regalia, Mini Cradle board and Moss bag Making Classes.

Native organizations condemn Trump’s slur NORMAN, Okla. – The Native American Journalists Association joined the National Congress of American Indians in condemning President Don- ald Trump’s use of the name “Pocahontas” in a derogatory manner while honoring World War II veteran Navajo code talkers on Monday, Nov. 27, during a White House ceremony. “We call on our colleagues in journalism to be responsible and accurate in their reporting on this important issue that affects the perceptions of Native people and communities,” NAJA said in a press release. “When an elected official or their publicly funded information officer use the name of a Native person or Nation with the intent to demean or denigrate, it shapes the public perception of that person and their Tribe across the nation and around the world.” NAJA said that when President Trump uses the name of Pocahontas as a pejorative with the intent to insult, it becomes a racial slur. Trump’s use of Pocahontas was aimed at Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who claimed to have Native ancestry during her run for public office. NCAI also called on Trump to refrain from using her name in a way that denigrates her legacy on Nov. 27. Pocahontas was a member of the Pamunkey Indian Tribe in Virginia and still holds a significant place in the history and culture of her Tribe. NAJA includes approximately 500 members representing Tribal, nonprofit, freelance and mainstream media professionals in promoting accurate coverage of Indian Country.
