	SAIL Ser.1, 6.3
		Ray Young Bear, born and raised on the Mesquaki Settlement near Tama, Iowa, is among a growing number of American Indian writers who have transmogrified the oral tradition of their people into a written form accessible to those outside of Native American culture.
		Young Bear acknowledges his often bitter tone, questioning himself about what may be "perhaps too much anger," but aware that the anger is real, nurtured by years of living on the edge of a white midwestern community which still knows little about its Mesquaki neighbors and generally avoids the dirt road through the Settlement.
		Ray Anthony Young Bear is indeed a keeper of importance.

	Diamonds and Turquoise: The Poetry of N. Scott Momaday
		Ray Young Bear, an Iowa Mesquakie, employs a surrealism in his poetry unlike that in Welch's; it plays in and out of a vocabulary of folklore that often "realizes" the apparently surreal.
		The fan, a portion of an eagle's wing, at once stands for and is the eagle, and its state of being it transfers to the speaker, whose hand simultaneously holds the eagle, is the eagle's foot clasping a perch in a bristlecone pine, and is the fine, hollow-boned wing riding the thin air.
		Young Bear's poetry often seems to be addressed to Mesquakie elders; images and phrases communicate beautifully to outsiders, but the whole statement of a poem often eludes our understanding.

		Young Bear acknowledges his often bitter tone, questioning himself about what may be "perhaps too much anger," but aware that the anger is real, nurtured by years of living on the edge of a white midwestern community that still knows little about its Mesquaki neighbors and generally avoids the dirt road through the Settlement.
		In Young Bear's poetry there is a sense of the mystery of life as it still exists, of the spiritual powers that continue to guide, to thwart, and to inspire.
		Vizenor's emphasis on bear transformation is explained by that animal's role as the renewer of Ojibwe life in their mide ceremony.

		Young Bear's elegiac POETRY contains several meanings communal, historical, sacred that taken together depict the consciousness of tribal peoples in modern society.
		For instance, one of the poems tells the story of a father and grandfather confronted with isolation in the "tribal homeland" upon returning from World War I battlefields as "decorated heroes." "Self-assessment" centers around the burden of "centuries of misery." Daring and thoughtful, this collection is recommended for all libraries.
		The narrator in this latest collection of poems by Ray Young Bear is alter ego and spiritual seeker Edgar Bearchild, who balances the hapless polarities of life in the Black Eagle Child Settlement with wry humor, a powerful intelligence, and the occasional designer drug.

		A consummate storyteller and writer in both Mesquakie and English, Ray A. Young Bear is a noted poet whose skills are evident in these intricate, finely woven stories that balance encounters and experiences with religion, myths, dreams, poverty, and injustice with the love and support offered by family and friends.
		In Black Eagle Child Young Bear recreates his life within the fifties, sixties, and seventies circumstances of a familiar American history of racism, Vietnam, drugs, the Doors, and Castaneda's cults.
		But always central to these honest, imaginative vignettes are Young Bear's exits from and returns to his home on Iowa's Mesquakie Settlement, the lands his great-great-grandfather, Ma mwi wa ni ke, helped obtain on behalf of the tribe in 1856.
