The Tao of Raven takes up the next and in some ways more interesting question: once the exile returns, then what? Using motifs from the story Raven and the Box of Daylight to deepen her narration and reflection, Hayes expresses an ongoing frustration and anger at the obstacles and prejudices still facing Alaska Natives in their own land, but also recounts her own story of attending and completing college in her fifties and becoming a professor and a writer. Now seventy years old and thinking very much of the generations who will come after her, Hayes speaks for herself but also has powerful things to say about the possibilities and complications of her Native community -- $c Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Prologue -- Brown bear spins beneath the darkly spinning stars -- Wolves sing like old women keeping ancient songs -- Regret and the forest are patient teachers -- They are holding everything for us. 600 10 $a Hayes, Ernestine, $d 1945- 650 0 $a Tlingit Indians $z Alaska $v Biography. 650 0 $a Tlingit women $z Alaska $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women college teachers $z Alaska $v Biography. 650 0 $a Homecoming $z Alaska. 650 0 $a Tlingit Indians $z Alaska $x Social life and customs. 650 0 $a Tlingit Indians $z Alaska $x Social conditions. 651 0 $a Alaska $x Social conditions. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170503023718.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=033107722FC611E7A3652FCCDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
