A university scholarship offered escape, but as a first-generation Latino college-goer, AÌlvarez struggled to fit in. At nineteen, he learned about a Native American/First Nations movement called the Peace and Dignity Journeys, epic marathons meant to renew cultural connections across North America. He dropped out of school and joined a group of DeneÌ, SecweÌpemc, Gitxsan, Dakelh, Apache, Tohono O'odham, Seri, PureÌpecha, and Maya runners, all fleeing difficult beginnings. Telling their stories alongside his own, AÌlvarez writes about a four-month-long journey from Canada to Guatemala that pushed him to his limits. He writes not only of overcoming hunger, thirst, and fear--dangers included stone-throwing motorists and a mountain lion--but also of asserting Indigenous and working-class humanity in a capitalist society where oil extraction, deforestation, and substance abuse wreck communities. Running through mountains, deserts, and cities, and through the Mexican territory his parents left behind, AÌlvarez forges a new relationship with the land, and with the act of running, carrying with him the knowledge of his parents' migration, and--against all odds in a society that exploits his body and rejects his spirit--the dream of a liberated future."--Amazon.com. 505 0 $a Warehouse white noise -- The "Palm Springs of Washington" -- Ganas in Carver Country -- Getting out -- Walla Walla walkabouts -- Cold feet -- The arrival -- Tree noodles -- "Indian time" -- La Cruz de Campos -- Glacier dip -- Washington gray -- Goldendale -- An X-Man -- Apache medicine -- Cougar country -- City-slicker natives -- Tlaloc in L.A. -- Southern fire -- Main in the maze -- Running the wrong way -- The devil's coffin -- El chapito -- Deer runners -- Chihuahua -- Touch of treasure -- The rebirth story -- Nayarit -- Mangoes -- Santo coyote -- Hardware store -- Weaving words -- The flying men of TeotihuacaÌn -- Descending eagle -- Oaxaca -- Zapatistas : rebel country -- Acteal -- Guatemala -- Old orchard -- Today. 600 10 $a AÌlvarez, NoeÌ. 650 0 $a Long-distance running $z North America $v Anecdotes. 650 0 $a Long-distance runners $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $v Biography. 941 $a 27 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626020421.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611022023.0 952 $l JSPB572 $d 20240323011651.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314021216.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305015805.0 952 $l CPPC926 $d 20231111010914.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909061232.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20220806014128.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025618.0 952 $l BIPB251 $d 20211215011847.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722062456.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20210713013358.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20210422013653.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20210122010719.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20201007082424.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20200929012538.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20200724010512.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20200707010231.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20200610030255.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20200506010313.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20200505010637.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20200407010414.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20200402010333.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20200326010228.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20200312044719.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20200310041419.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20200304011330.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8C0E426A5DE711EA860BE52F97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
