Tale of Twins Trilogy

Tale of Twins arrives at a moment when the central questions it engages—about land and sovereignty, about water and its future, about the relationship between Indigenous knowledge and scientific understanding, about who gets to determine what happens to what lies beneath the earth—are no longer peripheral concerns but defining ones.
The series offers no simple answers to those questions. It offers something rarer: a fully imagined vision of what it looks like when those questions are engaged honestly, by people with the right combination of gifts and obligations, in relationship to a land that has been keeping records longer than any of them.
It offers the possibility that the earth has been waiting for the listeners.
And that the listeners have arrived.
Tale of Twins will be published in three volumes.
Volume one consists of:
• Book One: Revelation (Wówicakĥe Ečhúŋyapi)

“The land is patient because it knows the difference between the people who are passing through and the people who belong. It is waiting for the ones who belong.”
— Mia, in a letter written three months before her death, opened twenty years later above the underground sea she never knew existed.
