hollyd19 's review for:
Native: Identity, Belonging, and Rediscovering God
by Kaitlin B. Curtice
challenging
hopeful
informative
slow-paced
I’ve been following Kaitlin Curtice for a couple years, ever since hearing her speak at the first Evolving Faith conference, the first person I ever witness perform a land acknowledgement. Her teaching broadened my perspective, a general guide towards a more loving, just world and church.
This book explores Curtice’s identity as both a Potawatomi woman and a Christian. She challenges white supremacy and its insipid hold over many of our institutions. But, as is her style, she does so gracefully, almost poetically. She is learning to bridge the disparities and nuances of her own life and inviting us to do the same, convinced that this will bring healing for all. There are definitely some tough truths woven in, and this book is not for the faint of heart or easily offended.
I had the chance to read this as part of Kaitlin’s launch team, thanks to Net Galley & Brazos Press.
