Now, Walking the Clouds: An Anthology of Indigenous Science Fiction (University of Arizona Press, 2012), edited by Grace Dillon, is the first collection of stories, excerpts and poems from this overlooked field.

FYI: Mexico, Central America & Latin America is full of Natives. Not just Aztecs or Incas. There are so many nations present living and surviving. A lot of stories. Many Indigenous groups, because of starvation/poverty, move to big cities in the US. NAFTA is one big cause. They might be the ones that serve you at your dinner table, clean your houses, park your mofockin cars. A lot of em speak their native languages. For example, Oakland has a big Todos Santos Mayan Community. We all have been colonized differently, but we’re all still here. Real talk. Let’s unite. Let’s put in work. Let’s heal.
