Native – Identity, Belonging, and Rediscovering God

Native. is about identity, soul-searching, and the never-ending journey of finding ourselves and finding God. As both a citizen of the Potawatomi Nation and a Christian, Kaitlin Curtice shares what it means to experience her faith through the lens of her Indigenous heritage and encourages us to embrace our own origins. "Kaitlin Curtice is one of the braver writers I know. She won't smooth any edges for you, and she won't let you change the subject, but she'll support you digging as deeply for your roots as she has for hers. "-Barbara Brown Taylor. , bestselling author of Holy Envy. and Learning to Walk in the Dark. "It isn't very often that a book about identity-let alone dismantling white supremacy and patriarchy-reads like a poem, but that's Kaitlin. She is thoughtful decolonization set to music and wrapped in love. "-Sarah Bessey. , author of Miracles and Other Reasonable Things. and Jesus Feminist. "There is no doubt Christianity has been the handmaiden to the destruction of Indigenous nations. Native. is an indigenization of faith and, more important, a moral call not only for the Christian church but for everyone to reckon with the genocidal legacies of US settler colonialism and African slavery. "-Nick Estes. , cofounder of The Red Nation"This book is required reading for all those committed to learning the truth about the land we live on and the institutions we live inside of. It called me out and called me home. "-Glennon Doyle. , author of Untamed. and founder of Together Rising"Curtice is a brave truth-teller and a prophetic voice we need to be listening to, and Native. is a book that will guide us toward a better future. "-Richard Rohr, OFM. , Center for Action and Contemplation"I'm so grateful for Curtice's voice. "-Nadia Bolz-Weber. , bestselling author, speaker, and public theologian
