Notes of An Indigenous Futurist is an unfiltered, beadwork-and-Bigfoot saturated, ecstatic remembering of a fortysomething Ponca's life, complete with longshot after-midnight Sundance prayers and visionary journeys into an impossible, inevitable, fully indigenized human future. Folded into its pages and poetry are portraits of Cliff Taylor's tribe and people, his barroom brawler dad, his great-great-great grandfather Chief Standing Bear, and his trailerpark-and-HBO middle-of-nowhere childhood; as well as superpowered flash fiction imaginings of far-off worlds, reviews of Native masterworks that don't exactly exist but also kind of do, and yearning-born dream articulations of the kinds of healing that are truly possible for the people of Turtle Island today. Deeply considered, shimmering with hard-earned wisdom, and co-created with his ancestors, Notes of An Indigenous Futurist is a hybrid work of the heart and imagination destined to be treasured and appreciated for generations to come.
