![]() Her sister, Vera and her child have vanished. Everyone calls her Pixie but she detests that. They would be stripped of their culture and sent further into poverty. Thomas knew that only suffering would come to his people. The Termination Act of 1953 was dressed as an emancipation bill that would consider Native Americans equal. But his real work is fighting a new bill that would terminate tribes, possess their land, and have them relocated. The first is about the Night Watchman, Thomas Wazhashk who works at a jewel plant in North Dakota. This book is inspired by the author’s grandfather, but it is also split into two different stories that come together. The Night Watchman by Louise Erdrich is one of those books that touches your soul. “Because everything was alive, responsive in its own way, capable of being hurt in its own way, capable of punishment in its own way, Zhaanat’s thinking was built on treating everything around her with great care.” The Night Watchman Thank you so much Harper Perennial for the opportunity to read this book! ![]()
