Join KUOW’s Katie Campbell in conversation with writer and artist Sasha taqwšəblu LaPointe to discuss her celebrated essay collection, Thunder Song. Blending the personal and the political, LaPointe writes with power and lyricism about Indigenous identity, resilience, and community, weaving together stories of trauma, healing, and creative expression. A member of the Upper Skagit and Nooksack Indian Tribes, LaPointe is the author of three books and a distinctive voice of the Pacific Northwest. Her work explores everything from her great-grandmother’s Lushootseed language revitalization to the punk rock scene, Twin Peaks, and the ongoing reclamation of Indigenous identity in Coast Salish territory.
