In honor of Native American History Month, NRDC asked five Indigenous poets to share original works of environmental poetry that speak directly to future generations. Their pieces grapple with grief and loss-from the construction of unnatural borders to the destruction caused by a warming world-while honoring their relationships to the plants, animals, and topography of their ancestral land.
Poet Amber McCrary is a Diné poet, zinester, and feminist. She is Red House clan born for Mexican people clan. Originally from Shonto, Arizona, and raised in Flagstaff, McCrary received her MFA in creative writing with an emphasis in poetry from Mills College and is now the owner and founder of Abalone Mountain Press, which is dedicated to publishing Indigenous voices. She currently resides on Akimel O'odham land.
