I read one of Sherman's books, about life on the rez, about a band group. It was hilarious, and sounds authentic of rez life. I was a cop on the Colville rez in Wa. state, and encountered many humorous situations. Alexie is a fine Indian writer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Farmer" <jsfrmr@hotmail.com> To: <NISHNAWBE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, March 05, 2004 7:45 AM Subject: [NISHNAWBE] Sherman Alexie in this week's Internet Socut Report Sites about Sherman Alexie from this week's Scout Report (http://scout.wisc.edu/): 16.

Alexie grew up on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Washington, and later discovered poetry in a writing workshop while in college at Washington State University. The first site presented here is part of the Internet Public Library, and contains a number of links to interviews with Alexie and reviews of his numerous works. The second site is provided by the Modern American Poetry project at the University of Illinois, and contains a number of links to commentaries on Alexie's work, his own reflections on what it means to be a Native American author, and growing up on "the rez."

Emery: We had two Native American brothers that lived in this area years ago by the name of Iliff. (Alger Co. Michigan) One was Burt Iliff. I had met him many years ago when I worked for the Indian Health Service through the Sault Tribe of Chippewa Indians. It was such an unusual name that it stayed in my mind. Hope you do not mind this email as it had nothing to do with the content of your message. I was just wondering if you were connected to this family?
