June 8, 2008:
It is with great sadness that I just learned of the passing of the beautiful author
and teacher Paula Gunn Allen. Allen was a
HUGE influence on my continual interest
in Native American literature, indeed I quoted her in my own book as a major source.
Her books "The Sacred Hoop" and "That's What She Said" served as my "bibles" for
a long time. Sadly, I had already completed my American Indian Studies at UCLA by the
time she taught there. I would have loved to have taken her classes. She was also a
positive role model for all women. Even though I never knew her personally, I feel I knew
her through her writing, her voice. Thank you, Paula, you will be greatly missed, and
yet you live on in your work and through us.

American women poets in their search for identity. A good
source for high school and graduate level term papers.
My personal story of how I first become involved in American Indian issues.
