}}Daniel Heath Justice is a Colorado-born Canadian citizen of the Cherokee Nation. He received his B.A. from the University of Northern Colorado and his M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.[1] As of 2018, he is a professor in First Nations and Indigenous Studies and English at the University of British Columbia.[2] Before coming to UBC, he spent ten years as a faculty member in the Department of English at the University of Toronto, where he was also an affiliate of the Aboriginal Studies Program.[3]

Justice is the author of Why Indigenous Literatures Matter (2018) (Wilfrid Laurier University Press), Our Fire Survives the Storm: A Cherokee Literary History (2006) (University of Minnesota Press),[4] as well as his Indigenous fantasy trilogy, The Way of Thorn & Thunder - Kynship (2005), Wyrwood (2006), and Dreyd (2007) which was published by Kegedonce Press.[5][6]

His critical work has often centered on themes of identity, authenticity and decolonisation: this has led to his being associated with literary nationalists such as Craig Womack and Jace Weaver. Justice's work is known for accessible and enjoyable prose that discusses difficult issues in an approachable manner.

Awards

In 2015, Justice was awarded the UBC Killam Research Prize[7] in recognition of his leadership in the field of Indigenous Literary Studies and for his many contributions to it, including Our Fire Survives the Storm: A Cherokee Literary History (2006), The Oxford Handbook of Indigenous American Literature (co-edited with James H. Cox, 2014), and Why Indigenous Literature Matters (2018). In 2010, he was awarded the Ludwik and Estelle Jus Memorial Human Rights Prize[8] at the University of Toronto. James Cox of the University of Texas stated that, "Daniel has devoted his life and work to advocating for the civil and human rights of the silences and dispossessed peoples of our world."[9] The University of Toronto added that Justice's "positive and lasting impact is felt directly at the U of T through his one-on-one work with native students, his ability to bring previously inexperienced young people to thinking about social justice and creative activism against oppression and his encouragement of both graduate and undergraduate students to take on community service as part of classes."[10]

Why Indigenous Literatures Matter

Description

Part survey of the field of Indigenous literary studies, part cultural history, and part literary polemic, Why Indigenous Literatures Matter asserts the vital significance of literary expression to the political, creative, and intellectual efforts of Indigenous peoples today. In considering the connections between literature and lived experience, this book contemplates four key questions at the heart of Indigenous kinship traditions: How do we learn to be human? How do we become good relatives? How do we become good ancestors? How do we learn to live together? Blending personal narrative and broader historical and cultural analysis with close readings of key creative and critical texts, Justice argues that Indigenous writers engage with these questions in part to challenge settler-colonial policies and practices that have targeted Indigenous connections to land, history, family, and self. More importantly, Indigenous writers imaginatively engage the many ways that communities and individuals have sought to nurture these relationships and project them into the future.

This provocative volume challenges readers to critically consider and rethink their assumptions about Indigenous literature, history, and politics while never forgetting the emotional connections of our shared humanity and the power of story to effect personal and social change. Written with a generalist reader firmly in mind, but addressing issues of interest to specialists in the field, this book welcomes new audiences to Indigenous literary studies while offering more seasoned readers a renewed appreciation for these transformative literary traditions.[11]

Reviews

This book simultaneously affirms Indigenous writing, introduces Indigenous readers to the canon of Indigenous writing, and teaches non-Indigenous folks how to read our literatures. That's impressive, and it's done in a beautiful, intimate and at times playful way. Why Indigenous Literatures Matter was an honour to read. It is instructional without instructing, grounded, confident, affirming, generous, brilliant, clear and joyful.

– Leanne Betasamosake Simpson, author of As We Have Always Done and This Accident of Being Lost

Concise, engaging and readable, Why Indigenous Literatures Matter evokes Indigenous frameworks of relationality at every turn, whether the history of dispossession and removal, or pressing contemporary issues like reconciliation and climate change. Ultimately, this book argues that Indigenous literatures matter because they transform lives. The last chapter, ‘Reading the Ruptures,’ is startling, moving, brilliant storytelling—troubling and transformative tribalography, laced with humour, provocation, and insight. The characters, drawn from real life, are ones I want to travel with. -- Lisa Brooks, Amherst College, author of Our Beloved Kin: A New History of King Philip's War

- Lisa Brooks

"By unpacking the key terms of his title––"Indigenous" (along with "settler," as the contrary position), "literature," and also the combination "Indigenous literature"––in an astute, rigorous, but also compassionate and generous fashion, Justice already by the introduction makes clear that Indigenous literatures matter vitally."

- Rene Dietrich[12]

Our Fire Survives the Storm: A Cherokee Literary History

Description

Once the most powerful indigenous nation in the southeastern United States, the Cherokees survive and thrive as a people nearly two centuries after the Trail of Tears and a hundred years after the allotment of Indian Territory. In Our Fire Survives the Storm, Daniel Heath Justice traces the expression of Cherokee identity in that nation's literary tradition.

Through cycles of war and peace, resistance and assimilation, trauma and regeneration, Cherokees have long debated what it means to be Cherokee through protest writings, memoirs, fiction, and retellings of traditional stories. Justice employs the Chickamauga consciousness of resistance and Beloved Path of engagement—theoretical approaches that have emerged from Cherokee social history—to interpret diverse texts composed in English, a language embraced by many as a tool of both access and defiance.

Justice's analysis ultimately locates the Cherokees as a people of many perspectives mingled into a collective sense of nationhood. Just as the oral traditions of the Cherokee people reflect the living realities and concerns of those who share them, Justice concludes, so too is their literary tradition a textual testament to Cherokee endurance and vitality.[13]

Reviews

Daniel Heath Justice has provided an overview of Cherokee literature that is unparalleled. He rescues Cherokee narratives from the limitations of isolated literature and reminds his readers that our stories are the vessels of our strength and sovereignty.

–Principal Chief Michell Hicks, Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians

Our Fire Survives the Storm moves beyond a simplistic reading of Cherokee culture as a case study for becoming civilized.

–Craig Womack, author of Drowning in Fire and Red on Red

This book is a good resource for students, educators, writers and those interested in Cherokee culture.

–News From Indian Country

With Daniel Heath Justice's approach in hand, college-level students of Native American literature have a fine method of analyzing stories for strengths, purpose, and direction.

–California Bookwatch

Justice makes an important, striking contribution to the growing body of tribal-centered criticism.

Reasoning Together: The Native Critics Collective

Description

This collectively authored volume celebrates a group of Native critics performing community in a lively, rigorous, sometimes contentious dialogue that challenges the aesthetics of individual literary representation.

Janice Acoose infuses a Cree reading of Canadian Cree literature with a creative turn to Cree language; Lisa Brooks looks at eighteenth- and early-nineteenth-century Native writers and discovers little-known networks among them; Tol Foster argues for a regional approach to Native studies that can include unlikely subjects such as Will Rogers; LeAnne Howe creates a fictional character, Embarrassed Grief, whose problematic authenticity opens up literary debates; Daniel Heath Justice takes on two prominent critics who see mixed-blood identities differently than he does in relation to kinship; Phillip Carroll Morgan uncovers written Choctaw literary criticism from the 1830s on the subject of oral performance; Kimberly Roppolo advocates an intertribal rhetoric that can form a linguistic foundation for criticism. Cheryl Suzack situates feminist theories within Native culture with an eye to applying them to subjugated groups across Indian Country; Christopher B. Teuton organizes Native literary criticism into three modes based on community awareness; Sean Teuton opens up new sites for literary performance inside prisons with Native inmates; Robert Warrior wants literary analysis to consider the challenges of eroticism; Craig S. Womack introduces the book by historicizing book-length Native-authored criticism published between 1986 and 1997, and he concludes the volume with an essay on theorizing experience.

Reasoning Together proposes nothing less than a paradigm shift in American Indian literary criticism, closing the gap between theory and activism by situating Native literature in real-life experiences and tribal histories. It is an accessible collection that will suit a wide range of courses—and will educate and energize anyone engaged in criticism of Native literature.[14]

Sovereign Erotics: A Collection of Two-Spirit Literature

Description

Two-Spirit people, identified by many different tribally specific names and standings within their communities, have been living, loving, and creating art since time immemorial. It wasn't until the 1970s, however, that contemporary queer Native literature gained any public notice. Even now, only a handful of books address it specifically, most notably the 1988 collection Living the Spirit: A Gay American Indian Anthology. Since that book's publication twenty-three years ago, there has not been another collection published that focuses explicitly on the writing and art of Indigenous Two-Spirit and Queer people.

This landmark collection strives to reflect the complexity of identities within Native Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Two-Spirit (GLBTQ2) communities. Gathering together the work of established writers and talented new voices, this anthology spans genres (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and essay) and themes (memory, history, sexuality, indigeneity, friendship, family, love, and loss) and represents a watershed moment in Native American and Indigenous literatures, Queer studies, and the intersections between the two.

Collaboratively, the pieces in Sovereign Erotics demonstrate not only the radical diversity among the voices of today's Indigenous GLBTQ2 writers but also the beauty, strength, and resilience of Indigenous GLBTQ2 people in the twenty-first century.

Reviews

"At turns angry and wounded, sexy and joyous, hopeful and wistful, this outstanding anthology belongs on the shelves of all readers interested in contemporary American Indian writing and American LGBTQ topics."—Publisher’s Weekly

"Sovereign Erotics serves as a critical horizon for young readers trying to imagine better lives in the here and now."—Western American Literature

"There's such a wide range of authors, styles, and content here, with so many new ideas and histories, that I found myself rereading sections of it over and over again."—Bibrary Book Lust

"An important achievement that other identity-based collections often don’t quite reach."—About.com

The Oxford Handbook of Indigenous American Literature

Description

This book explores Indigenous American literature and the development of an inter- and trans-Indigenous orientation in Native American and Indigenous literary studies. Drawing on the perspectives of scholars in the field, it seeks to reconcile tribal nation specificity, Indigenous literary nationalism, and trans-Indigenous methodologies as necessary components of post-Renaissance Native American and Indigenous literary studies. It looks at the work of Renaissance writers, including Louise Erdrich's Tracks (1988) and Leslie Marmon Silko's Sacred Water (1993), along with novels by S. Alice Callahan and John Milton Oskison. It also discusses Indigenous poetics and Salt Publishing's Earthworks series, focusing on poets of the Renaissance in conversation with emerging writers. Furthermore, it introduces contemporary readers to many American Indian writers from the seventeenth to the first half of the nineteenth century, from Captain Joseph Johnson and Ben Uncas to Samson Occom, Samuel Ashpo, Henry Quaquaquid, Joseph Brant, Hendrick Aupaumut, Sarah Simon, Mary Occom, and Elijah Wimpey. The book examines Inuit literature in Inuktitut, bilingual Mexicanoh and Spanish poetry, and literature in Indian Territory, Nunavut, the Huasteca, Yucatán, and the Great Lakes region. It considers Indigenous literatures north of the Medicine Line, particularly francophone writing by Indigenous authors in Quebec. Other issues tackled by the book include racial and blood identities that continue to divide Indigenous nations and communities, as well as the role of colleges and universities in the development of Indigenous literary studies.[16]

Badger

Description

Viewed as fierce, menacing or mysterious, badgers have been both admired and reviled throughout human history. Their global reputation for ferocious self-defence has led to brutalization by hunters and sport-seekers; their association with the mythic underworld has made them symbols of earth-based wisdom and steadfast tradition; their burrowing and predation habits have resulted in widespread persecution as pests or public nuisances. Whether as living animals, abstract symbols or commercial resources, badgers have fascinated humans for thousands of years – though often to the animals’ detriment.

From the iconic European badger to the African honey badger, the hog badger of Southeast Asia and the North American badger, this book is the first truly global cultural history of the animal in over 30 years. Profusely illustrated with images spanning centuries, cultures, continents and species, Badger considers badgers’ lives and lore, from their evolution and widespread distribution to their current and often imperilled status throughout the world. It travels from natural history and life in the wild to the myths, legends and spiritual beliefs badgers continue to inspire, as well as their representation and exploitation in industry, religion and the arts. Appealing to anyone interested in a deeper understanding of these much misunderstood and often maligned creatures, Badgertraces the complex and often contradictory ways in which this fascinating animal endures.[17]

Reviews

‘I have read many of the books in Reaktion’s series Animal . . . Badger is one of the best. Daniel Heath Justice is deeply read, yet shares his knowledge with a light touch.’ – BBC Wildlife Magazine

‘This literary, historical, wide-ranging and stylish study of the species is a very original book, lovely to look at and fascinating to read.’ – Scotland Outdoors

Personal Details

In an interview with Open Book Daniel answered their Dirty Dozen Questionnaire and answered some personal questions about his personal life including his childhood and inspirations. Here are his answers to the questionnaire:[18]

  1. I'm a lifelong Dungeons & Dragons geek, and three of the main characters in my fantasy novel, The Way of Thorn and Thunder, were my first three player characters: Tarsa, Tobhi, and Denarra.
  2. My third-great-grandfather, James Spears, was a signatory of the 1839 Cherokee Nation reunification constitution and a lifelong ally of our great nineteenth-century Principal Chief, John Ross. He signed with an X.
  3. I'm the third generation of my mom's mining family to grow up in the Gold Rush mining town of Victor, Colorado, which sits at around 10,000 feet in the Rockies in the southern periphery of Pikes Peak. In fact, my mother's father worked in gold, coal, and uranium mines all his life and died of silicosis acquired from uranium mining.
  4. My nickname growing up was Booner—it's still how most of the people from my hometown know me. (It was inspired the white frontiersman Daniel Boone who, unbeknownst to my parents, was notorious during his lifetime for his violent hatred of Cherokees!)
  5. I can make a relevant Golden Girls reference for nearly any life situation. In fact, some of my wittiest comments in conversation are not actually original but repurposed riffs from Dorothy, Blanche, Rose, and Sophia.
  6. I'm an amateur ventriloquist, and I have a badger puppet named Digdug.
  7. I used to be a card-carrying member of the Savage Garden fan club.
  8. My first great pop-culture obsession was He-Man and the Masters of the Universe—both toy line and cartoon—and I still get an electric charge when Prince Adam holds up his sword and chants, "By the Power of Grayskull!"
  9. I'm a crack shot with a .22 calibre rifle, especially offhand and with open sights.
  10. Had I been born a girl my name would have been Pepper Lynn Justice. I'm fascinated by what that woman's story would have been!
  11. My personal theme song is Dolly Parton's "Wildflowers," especially her version with Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt.
  12. Of the fantasy writers who had the most profound influence on my sense of imaginative possibility—J.R.R. Tolkien, Octavia Butler, and Ursula K. Le Guin—I count myself incredibly blessed to have met Butler and corresponded with Le Guin. And both were incredibly encouraging in those brief interactions. Their unarguable talent and determined imagining of worlds that included people like me remain every bit as inspiring as their personal generosity to this starry-eyed young writer.
