Margolin recounts moments both intimate and profound: helping raise a ceremonial enclosure in Northern California that is intentionally built to be remade by each generation, witnessing Indigenous Hawaiian leaders formally recognize Native Southern Californian tribes, and learning from elders about leadership traditions, pedagogical techniques, and conservation practices from across the state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten with warmth, humility, and deep admiration, \u003ci\u003eDeep Hanging Out\u003c\/i\u003e offers fascinating glimpses into Indigenous worldviews that contrast those of mainstream settler culture. Both those encountering these stories for the first time and those whose roots and hearts reside in the state’s Indian Country will find inspiration in these pages. A celebration of the resilience, creativity, and living cultures of Native California, this collection offers a deeply human portrait of a place and the people who continue to shape it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n","brand":"Malcolm Margolin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49076756939003,"sku":"9781597147576","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/deep-hanging-out-9781597147576","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
