Birding while Indian : a mixed-blood memoir / Thomas C. Gannon. by Gannon, Thomas C. Mad Creek Books, an imprint of The Ohio State University Press, 2023. Call #: 978.0049752 G198b Subjects Gannon, Thomas C.   Lakota Indians -- Great Plains -- Biography.   Indians of North America -- Mixed descent -- Great Plains -- Biography.   Racially mixed people -- Great Plains -- Biography.   Bird watching -- Great Plains.   Bird watchers -- Great Plains -- Biography. Series Machete. ISBN:  9780814258729 (trade pbk) Description:  xiv, 239 p. : ill. ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 235-239). Summary:  "Thomas C. Gannon's Birding While Indian spans more than fifty years of childhood walks and adult road trips to deliver, via a compendium of birds recorded and revered, the author's life as a part-Lakota inhabitant of the Great Plains. Great Horned Owl, Sandhill Crane, Dickcissel: such species form a kind of rosary, a corrective to the rosaries that evoke Gannon's traumatic time in an Indian boarding school in South Dakota, his mother's tears when coworkers called her 'squaw,' and the violent erasure colonialism demanded of the Indigenous humans, animals, and land of the United States. Birding has always been Gannon's escape and solace. He later found similar solace in literature, particularly by Native authors. He draws on both throughout this expansive, hilarious, and humane memoir. An acerbic observer-of birds, of the aftershocks of history, and of human nature -- Gannon navigates his obsession with the ostensibly objective avocation of birding and his own mixed-blood subjectivity, searching for that elusive Snowy Owl and his own identity. The result is a rich reflection not only on one man's life but on the transformative power of building a deeper relationship with the natural world."--Publisher. Genre:  Autobiographies. Memoirs.
