650 Main St Edmonds WA 98020-3056 650 Main St, Edmonds, WA, United States

“Rivers in My Veins is an expression of my experience as a mixed-race tribal citizen in the West,” Briggs said. “It opens a window on a tribal perspective on the modern world, and history that brought us to this present time. It speaks to readers who are inundated with the noise of today’s media world and invites them to talk a walk in the lands by the waters that are ever present and available to all."
