Susan Power's Sacred WildernessBOOK-2025-443Despite the central role of Native American peoples in the narratives of the American West, Indigenous perspectives still deserve more attention. This essay makes a contribution in this respect by analyzing Susan Power (Standing Rock Sioux)’s Sacred Wilderness (2014) as an example of how contemporary Native literature not only challenges the stubborn opposition between civilization and savagism but also encourages us to revise the way we relate to the world and to others. Building upon the concept of resurgence, it delves into Native theories of relationality, emphasizing the ethical notion of being-with and the corresponding shift from egology to ecology. The text is replete with instances of transcending the boundaries between self and other, suggesting that what has been suppressed or silenced remains latent and will eventually resurface with more force. Power thus calls on readers to recognize the urgency and legitimacy of Native resistance and resurgence and encourages collaboration in the construction of a better future grounded in Indigenous principles of care, responsibility, and justice.Routledge2025http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/16284710.4324/9781003507628-16http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/162847oai:zaguan.unizar.es:162847
