This is a story of resilience and healing in Indian Country.John Spence, (Gros Ventre/Sioux), MSW, PhD, grew up without parents amid the poverty and racism confronting Indian families on and near the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in Montana and in a low-income housing project in Seattle.Growing up as a parentless, half-breed Indian kid during the 1940s and 50s, he recounts how some older relatives and adult mentors influenced him in a positive direction. This led him to attend college in the 1960s when few American Indians were involved in higher education. He taught for 20 years in the School of Social Work at Portland State University and has now worked for over 50 years as a counselor, teacher, and community organizer.Since 2009, John has helped provide therapeutic horsemanship workshops for hundreds of tribal youth in Oregon. He also describes how he became an ocean lifeguard, US Marine, rugby player, rodeo rider, and triathlete.Throughout this story he describes how his relationships within the reservation and urban Indian communities contributed to his 38 years of sobriety and his activism within the greater healing movement in contemporary Indian Country.

First collective study of the Anglo-Norman prose chronicles, bringing out their essential characteristics, setting them in context, and showing their writers' aims and objectives.The medieval Anglo-Norman prose chronicles are fascinating hybrids of history, legends and romance, building on the rich tradition of historical writing circulating in England at the time of their composition, such as Geoffrey ofMonmouth's Historia and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Their prime subject is the history of England, but they also shed much light on other networks of influence, such as those between families and religious houses.Thisbook studies the essential characteristics of the genre for the first time, situating Anglo-Norman prose chronicles within the multilingual cultures of late medieval England. It considers the chronicles' treatment of the "legendary history of Britain", legends about English heroes, accounts of the Norman Conquest, and histories of noble families. In particular, it explores how Anglo-Norman prose chronicles rewrite the past with rhetorical flourish, in order to advance the contemporary political and personal agendas of their authors and patrons.John Spence gained his PhD from the University of Cambridge.
