Becoming Mary Sully by Philip J. Deloria (University of Washington Press)Author,
Harvard professor, and historian Philip J. Deloria describes the era
captured in the nearly lost art of his great aunt, Mary Sully, as a
“critical moment — sometime in the 1920s, perhaps — when many American
Indian people crafted new and different lives for themselves.” Deloria
writes this characterization as part of an introduction to Becoming Mary Sully
(University of Washington Press), a detailed survey of the extant works
of the Dakota Sioux artist. The book underscores her unique position as
an American Indian Modernist and examines the wider historical context
of her surprising and original work, and the political, social, and
aesthetic forces that shaped it. Emerging from potential obscurity,
Sully’s work deepens cultural perceptions of American Indian
abstraction. —Sarah Rose Sharp via

Canada's Residential Schools
The religious organizations that operated the schools — the Anglican Church of Canada, Presbyterian Church in Canada, United Church of Canada, Jesuits of English Canada and some Catholic groups — in 2015 expressed regret for the “well-documented” abuses. The Catholic Church has never offered an official apology, something that Trudeau and others have repeatedly called for.
ADOPTION TRUTH
As the single largest unregulated industry in the United States, adoption is viewed as a benevolent action that results in the formation of “forever families.” The truth is that it is a very lucrative business with a known sales pitch. With profits last estimated at over $1.44 billion dollars a year, mothers who consider adoption for their babies need to be very aware that all of this promotion clouds the facts and only though independent research can they get an accurate account of what life might be like for both them and their child after signing the adoption paperwork.
