Book Reading Party

Joseph and the Tamanawis Spirit, book reading party went well. Each day was special with so many feelings revealed from audience, Melissa and I. It was so nice; we opened with prayer each day, thanks to Pastor James Kallappa. Helen Jim read from, Joseph and the Tamanawis Spirit, for me; reading with such superiority. I was unsure how the Makah Tribe would take to me, writing a book. Well, so many of our ELDERS said, “Dawn, I’m PROUD of you for having the courage to write. We have had so many bad books written of the Makah People. And well it’s nice to have one written by a Native person who has lived amongst the Makah People. Maybe this will expose some truth of how we Makah Indians really live.” My book is a fictional story with some true lifestyle shared within (family dinners, football game, deer hunt, and the proud Makah Heritage). And YES it’s true; we as native people sure know how to have fun and live good lives.

I’m sad about the sales but I’ll just have to work hard on getting more sold; to different reservations. It well all workout; I’m sure. Our audience was small; due to it being Makah Days and so much going on.
