Hello! I am an indigenous fiction writer, artist, and human.
Hmm. Ok,
I feel, not uniquely, like a writer without a voice. Like a traveler without a shoe. An explorer without a map. And! A storyteller without a doubt.
I think the pursuit of originality is as valid as any other absurd human ambition. Like mapping the edge of the universe or translating the language of trees: elusive, impossible, but not without its worth.
