Chris La Tray's intimate memoir traces the complex journey of Indigenous identity, exploring the profound connections between land, heritage, and personal history. Through a nuanced narrative of the Little Shell Tribe, La Tray unravels the intricate threads of belonging, displacement, and cultural resilience. More than a personal story, Becoming Little Shell becomes a powerful meditation on what it means to reclaim one's heritage in a world that has systematically sought to erase Indigenous identities.
