INDIGENOUS POETRY

She is Matriarch

Within these pages Shuína Skó presents five beautifully affirming poems intended to nurture the Indigenous feminine Spirit. Through poetry, Shuína empowers women (all female identifying persons), gives voice to the Indigenous experience, and shines a light on the beauty that exists within tribal culture. This is a book sure to provide the nourishment a woman's Spirit needs.

Heart Poems for the Hopeless Romantic

This is a shame-free, inclusive, and sex-positive book containing 28 short stories inspired by queer love, lust, and loss. A writing prompt follows each of the 28 poems and invites the reader to become more intimately engaged. Indigenous guest poet, Jerilyn Alderman-Hansson, provides the 29th bonus poem.

Big Love - mo stinta

Extended 2nd Edition

This book holds 13 poems that highlight Indigenous resiliency. The poetry focuses on interconnectedness, appreciation for Mother Earth, restoring relationship with Nature and culture, and navigating trauma.

Two-Spirit Journeying

Extended 2nd Edition

16 short stories formulated into poetry that bring us right alongside Shuína during her Two-Spirit journey. This book of poetry provides insight into some of the love, lust, and brokenness Shuína has felt. Shuína hopes to give voice to and empower marginalized peoples, Indigenous communities, and 2SLGBTQIA+ identifying individuals.

Warrior Roses

Extended 2nd Edition

Ten poems about historical trauma, present pains, and Indigenous resiliency. Shuína draws on personal experience as an Indigenous person and a citizen of the Klamath nation. Following each poem, Shuína adds thoughtfully crafted insights about certain details of the poem.

A poem offering hope to anyone who has experienced, or is experiencing, suicidal ideation and hopelessness; words to reassure you that, you are not alone.

Frybread Power

A poem of frybread’s origin story and how Indigenous peoples inevitably continue to rise

Love Me

A poem of a blooming romance that is exciting and hopeful yet also terrifying due to the thought of it potentially slipping away.

Part One and Part Two engage gracefully in a dance of hope-filled bliss and acceptance of emotional risk.
