How do you define yourself? What tribes are you in?

The featured book for this episode of the Amidon Planet Podcast is The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie, which is the first time a novel has been featured in the podcast. The inspiration for this episode came from a former student, Drew Hall, who I observed teaching from this text in his classroom. This book explores culture, adolescence, alcoholism, death…some heavy topics, but in a way that is approachable for young adults. I was a pleasure talking through the categories with Drew and I am glad to share this episode with y’all

Enjoy!
