Indigenous stories are fundamental to the teachings, ceremonies and ways of life of Indigenous people. Indigenous storytelling, focused on the teachings of culture, ceremonies and spirituality, are not viewed as entertainment but as messages. The stories can be funny, sad, scary or disturbing. They may not all have happy endings and they must remain as true to their origins as possible.

The fourth book of my thesis is all erotic land poetry. It was really fun to write and incredibly healing.
