Native Voice TV - Deborah A Miranda, Author of "Bad Indians"

September 06, 2013

An Interview by Native Voice TV - Deborah A. Miranda by Rose Amador. Deborah is one bad Indian. Her memoir refuses categorization in its unique structure, gorgeous poetry, and painful story of resistance, strength, and survival. Part documentary of Mission Indians and part coming of age story, her book reaches back to the beginning of colonization of her ancestors to insist on an identity, both tribal and sexual, both painful and celebratory, of a people who many in California and the world relegated to extinction. Miranda was kind enough to offer generous answers about her extraordinary memoir Bad Indians: A Tribal Memoir.
