Read by Shaun Taylor-Corbett

A powerful, intimate collection of conversations with Indigenous Americans on the climate crisis and the Earth's futureAlthough for a great many people, the human impact on the Earth-countless species becoming extinct, pandemics claiming millions of lives, and climate crisis causing worldwide social and environmental upheaval-was not apparent until recently, this is not the case for all people or cultures. For the Indigenous people of the world, radical alteration of the planet, and of life itself, is a story that is many generations long. They have had to adapt, to persevere, and to be courageous and resourceful in the face of genocide and destruction-and their experience has given them a unique understanding of civilizational devastation.An innovative work of research and reportage, We Are the Middle of Forever places Indigenous voices at the center of conversations about today's environmental crisis. The book draws on interviews with people from different North American Indigenous cultures and communities, generations, and geographic regions who share their knowledge and experience, their questions, their observations, and their dreams of maintaining the best relationship possible to all of life.A welcome antidote to the despair arising from the climate crisis, We Are the Middle of Forever brings to the forefront the perspectives of those who have long been attuned to climate change and will be an indispensable aid to those looking for new and different ideas and responses to the challenges we face. "Insights like these, and dozens more will hopefully spur readers into action to save the planet and themselves." "A refreshingly unique and incredibly informative collection of vital Indigenous wisdom…vivid storytelling and palpable emotion." "Shaun Taylor-Corbett's decision to narrate these personal stories in a straightforward, thoughtful yet intimate manner enhances these testimonies, reflections, and sketches…This audiobook provides hope and deserves a broad listening audience." "This book proves what many already know to be true, but which many more need to hear: Indigenous people are the heroes of the climate justice movement." "These testimonies are exact, explicit, essential…When we finish reading and incorporating each word, we will know how to live. The path we are each called to walk will be clear."
