Filled with powerful imagery, this poem relates the tragic story of Indios, a native woman falsely accused of the death of her children. As it echoes the plight of other women like Indios-including Malinche, Pocahontas, La Llorona, and Medea-this narrative conveys the truth of a history twisted to suit the needs of a conquering power. Weaving Native American history with contemporary situations, this evocative poem focuses on the concept and consequences of the oppression of women.

Industry Reviews

"An obsidian blade carving a tragic story of the exploitation of indigenous women. . . . As heartbreaking in its intensity as it is honed by superior craft, Indios is bound to become a classic." -Pamela Uschuk, author, Crazy Love

"Sacks colonialism in the New World, giving it a black-eye and a bad headache. . . . Hogan changes history!" -LeAnne Howe, author, Evidence of Red

"Indios is like the ocean, a part of the life-force of the planet. We must honor that when we come into the presence of such a work. We are blessed, humbled, and empowered by her words." -Simon J. Ortiz, author, From Sand Creek
