The Tao of Raven takes up the next and in some ways more interesting question: once the exile returns, then what? Using motifs from the story Raven and the Box of Daylight to deepen her narration and reflection, Hayes expresses an ongoing frustration and anger at the obstacles and prejudices still facing Alaska Natives in their own land, but also recounts her own story of attending and completing college in her fifties and becoming a professor and a writer. Now seventy years old and thinking very much of the generations who will come after her, Hayes speaks for herself but also has powerful things to say about the possibilities and complications of her Native community -- Provided by publisher Notes Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed Subject Hayes, Ernestine, 1945- SUBJECT Hayes, Ernestine, 1945- Hayes, Ernestine, 1945- fast Hayes, Ernestine (1945-). ram Hayes, Ernestine, 1945-. sears Subject Tlingit Indians -- Alaska -- Biography Tlingit women -- Alaska -- Biography Women college teachers -- Alaska -- Biography Homecoming -- Alaska Tlingit Indians -- Alaska -- Social life and customs Tlingit Indians -- Alaska -- Social conditions BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Historical HISTORY / United States / State & Local / General BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Cultural Heritage Homecoming Social conditions Tlingit Indians Tlingit Indians -- Social conditions Tlingit Indians -- Social life and customs Tlingit women Women college teachers Women college teachers -- Alaska -- Biography.
