Simon J. Ortiz writes poetry, stories and essays rooted in Acoma Pueblo history, Indigenous continuity, language and the experience of colonial violence in the United States. From Sand Creek combines poetry and prose reflections around the 1864 massacre of Cheyenne and Arapaho people, linking historical memory to the continuing structures that made such violence possible. Going for the Rain and Woven Stone gather poems about family, labour, landscape and survival, while The People Shall Continue presents a broad Indigenous history for younger readers through a collective narrative of endurance and resistance. Ortiz's writing is spare, oral in rhythm and closely tied to place, often moving between personal memory and tribal history without separating them. His work fits Indigenous poetry, Native American history, decolonial writing and literature of the American Southwest. Read more Less
