Description
The ancestors are watching. The city hums with their silence.
In MODERN NATIVES, writer and multimedia artist Andrea Grant reimagines the living myths of the Coast Salish peoples for a modern world pulsing with memory, longing, and transformation. These luminous stories move between past and present, Dreamtime and urban reality—where water serpents haunt your sleep, a trickster god orders whiskey in Tacoma, and wolves appear beneath the streetlights of Manhattan.
Through cinematic prose and visceral imagery, Grant bridges the sacred and the contemporary, creating a mythic landscape where ancestral spirits walk beside us and the boundaries between worlds dissolve. Each story honors the Coast Salish oral tradition while daring to ask: What if the spirits never left?
A groundbreaking fusion of myth, poetry, and visual storytelling, MODERN NATIVES celebrates the resilience of Indigenous identity and the power of narrative to heal, awaken, and transform.
