UUC's Acting for Racial Justice Team is sponsoring a two-part discussion of Red Paint: The Ancestral Autobiography of a Coast Salish Punk by Sasha taqwšeblu LaPointe. Catherine Ruha and Mike Kasprzak will co-facilitate the in-person sessions.
Author Tiffany Midge, in conjunction with the Washington Center for the Book, characterized Red Paint as “A powerfully affecting autobiography that reckons with trauma, displacement and colonization and the pathways toward healing and finding one’s way home. LaPointe writes with a ferocious honesty that’s both breathtaking and radiant.”
LaPointe’s memoir was chosen as a 2023 Pacific Northwest Book Award winner as well as winning the 2023 Washington State Book Award for Creative Nonfiction/Memoir.

Red Paint is available from the UUC Bookstore while supplies last, at public libraries, or from commercial booksellers.
[Ed. note: You many be interested to know that Sasha taqwšeblu LaPointe is the great-grandaughter, and namesake, of Vi taqwšeblu Hilbert. Read more in the Registration form.]
