Journey of a No Tail Bear

Journey of a No Tail Bear

$7.50

Growing up in the early 1950’s, Bear learned almost nothing about his Native heritage from family. It  was a time when the US census did not even acknowledge Native Americans, and it was not until Bear was an  adult that he began to uncover his family’s background. The volume includes poems spanning more than  twenty years and reflects a view of life from a Native American veteran who came to understand and appreciate his family’s roots. Although a small collection, the poems are both powerful and poignant.

Description

The museum is pleased to announce the publication of a small collection of poetry written by  Bear Plummer, a long term volunteer at the museum. The book opens with a poem penned in 2020  

LETTER TO MY JAILER”  
 I stand here in my self-imposed prison. 
Walls not made of brick or mortar,  
Bars not made of steel. 
Instead, walls made from low self-esteem,  
Anger, depression and hate.  
And bars made of no forgiveness within my heart.  
I search for a key to set my spirit free.  
A key not made of gold, silver or brass  
But a key made of self-esteem, love,  
happiness and forgiveness 
I can see the key.  
It is within my grasp.  
I still have one last thing, one last task,  
Perhaps the hardest one of all:  
How do I find forgiveness for the things 
I’ve done to me?
