What does it mean to belong when your roots are tangled in pain and resilience?

Calling for a Blanket Dance by Oscar Hokeah tells the powerful story of Ever Geimausaddle, a young man caught between Kiowa, Cherokee, and Mexican heritage while struggling to build a future for himself.

This is a unique book, and the chapters are written in the voices of his family members—each sharing their own struggles, hopes, and heartbreaks.

Ever’s story has themes of survival, identity, and the power of community.

Bonus note: I found the audiobook a better experience than the book. Still a great read! 

Great for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from their culture, family, or sense of self, this novel offers a deeply personal and exploration of generational trauma, resilience, and healing within Indigenous and multicultural communities.
