Book description
"Nothing less than the history of a people in the form of an absorbing and emotionally searing memoir." —David Treuer, author of The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee Growing up in Montana, Chris La Tray always identified as Indian. While the representation of Indigenous people was mostly limited to racist depictions in toys and television shows, and despite the fact that his father fiercely denied any connection, he found Indians alluring, often recalling his grandmother's consistent mention of their Chippewa heritage. When La Tray attended his grandfather's funeral as a young man, he finally found himself surrounded by relatives who obviously were Indigenous. "Who were they?" he wondered, and "Why was I never allowed to know them?" Embarking on a deeply personal and revealing journey into his family's past, he discovers a larger story of the complicated history of Indigenous communities — and the devastating effects of colonialism that continue to ripple through surviving generations. Combining diligent research and compelling conversations with Indigenous authors, activists, elders, and historians, La Tray follows a trail deep into the heart of his community — and himself. And as he comes to embrace his full identity, he eventually seeks enrollment with the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians, joining their 158-year-long struggle for federal recognition. Both personal and historical, Becoming Little Shell is a testament to the power of storytelling, to family and legacy, and to finding home. Infused with candor, heart, wisdom, and an abiding love for a place and a people, Chris La Tray's remarkable journey — and the journey of his tribe — is both revelatory and redemptive. Review"La Tray's pride and conviction will have readers eager not only to learn more, but to take action. A brilliant contribution to the canon of Native American literature." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review) Review"I'm in awe of Chris La Tray's storytelling. Becoming Little Shell creates a multilayered narrative from threads of personal, family, community, tribal, and national histories. Together they make a story as strong and beautiful as a Metis sash — a story of identity, kinship, and the journey toward justice." Robin Wall Kimmerer, author of Braiding SweetgrassReview"Indigenous identity can be complicated, and Becoming Little Shell compels us into the thick of it — Native people dispossessed of not just land but recognition; blood quantum laws originally crafted to complete a genocide and still wreaking havoc in identity debates today; racism that drove many Native people to disassociate from their families; and descendants, like La Tray, who have found their way back, fighting for the reconnection of their communities and for the observance of their very existence. La Tray is a loving, discerning, curious, funny, and generous guide. This is a beautiful, big-hearted book." Sierra Crane Murdoch, author of Yellow BirdAbout the AuthorChris La Tray is a Métis storyteller, a descendent of the Pembina Band of the mighty Red River of the North, and an enrolled member of the Little Shell Tribe of Chippewa Indians, he is also the author of One-Sentence Journal: Short Poems and Essays from the World at Large, which won the 2018 Montana Book Award and a 2019 High Plains Book Award, as well as Descended from a Travel-Worn Satchel, a collection of haiku and haibun poetry. La Tray is the Montana Poet Laureate for 2023-2025 and a bookseller at Fact & Fiction. He writes the weekly newsletter "An Irritable Métis" and lives near Frenchtown, Montana.
