Banned Book Club: The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian | Bookmans Entertainment Exchange Because Sherman Alexie writes about sexual awareness and awakening in The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, one could understand why parents, librarians, school administrators and even some students deem the book as inappropriate. To suggest the book for a more mature audience might seem reasonable enough. The reality is that the main character, Arnold, is a freshman in high school and speaks in a relatable voice for young adults. Arnold is a teen boy growing up in poverty on the Spokane Indian reservation in Wellpinit, Washington. Reardan, the all white school Arnold transfers to, is 23 miles off the reservation. The use of profanity and the multiple mentions of masturbation may deter some from allowing their children to read this book, but then they would miss out on valuable lessons spoken in a language that’s easy to understand and relate to. There’s an incredible sense of hope throughout Arnold’s story.

From broken homes to a broken system | The Washington Post Unlike in Pine Ridge and other reservations, there is no barbed wire surrounding the center. Inside, students learn to carve in a woodshop, work out in a gymnasium and participate in “smudging,” a ceremony of burning sage and cedar to cleanse a person and keep away negative spirits and energy. The Wanbli Wiconi Tipi Youth Wellness and Renewal Center, located on the Rosebud Reservation, houses about 250 teenagers each year and is run by Miskoo Petite, who grew up in the community. “We are trying to integrate traditional Lakota cultural information, and rehabilitate our youth by bridging the gaps they might have with their identities and who they are,” he said. Unlike other juvenile centers, where a majority of the building is used for detention, 70 percent of the space is used for programs. “I have had juveniles tell me directly that they would rather be in the juvenile detention center in Rosebud than at home,” said former Rosebud attorney general Mato Standing High.
