How to dress a fish / Abigail Chabitnoy. by Chabitnoy, Abigail, author. Middletown, Connecticut : Wesleyan University Press, [2019] Subjects Chabitnoy family -- Poetry.   Indians of North America -- Poetry.   Alaska Natives -- Poetry.   Off-reservation boarding schools -- United States -- Poetry. ISBN:  9780819578488 (hardcover) 0819578487 (hardcover) Series:  Wesleyan poetry. Description:  141 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  In How to Dress a Fish, poet Abigail Chabitnoy, of Germanic and Aleut descent, addresses the lives disrupted by US Indian boarding school policy. She pays particular attention to the life story of her great grandfather, Michael, who was taken from the Baptist Orphanage, Wood Island, Alaska, and sent to Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania. Incorporating extracts from Michael's boarding school records and early Russian ethnologies--while engaging Alutiiq language, storytelling motifs, and traditional practices--the poems form an act of witness and reclamation. In uncovering her own family records, Chabitnoy works against the attempted erasure, finding that while legislation such as the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act reconnects her to community, through blood and paper, it could not restore the personal relationships that had already been severed.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 811.6 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 811.6 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList
