Thinning Blood

Thinning Blood is a compelling memoir that explores the history and legacy of four generations of women in Leah Myers' Native tribe, weaving together tribal folklore, Native history, and personal stories. Through her family’s totem pole—the protective Bear, defiant Salmon, compassionate Hummingbird, and Raven—Myers reflects on her cultural roots and the ongoing impacts of colonization. The book offers a powerful introspection on identity, belonging, and the preservation of Native heritage amidst the challenges of cultural erasure.
