Indian No More
Charlene Willing McManis, Traci Sorell
When the federal government removes Grand Ronde’s recognized status, ten-year-old Regina Petit and her Umpqua family leave Oregon for Los Angeles. Regina, who is Umpqua and white Portuguese, makes new friends but encounters misconceptions shaped by Hollywood portrayals of Native people. Her father faces discrimination, while stories and family history shared by her grandmother bring Regina comfort. As she adjusts to a new home, Regina comes to understand that her Native identity is rooted in family and community rather than outsiders’ definitions.
