This is a sign to the beginning of the Spokane Indian Reservation that is located in Wellpinit, Washington, which is where the novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is set in.

I chose to include the documentary, For Sama, because I think it is very closely related to the novel, The Beekeeper of Aleppo, and visually shows the theme, trauma, very well.

FOR SAMA is both an intimate and epic journey into the female experience of war. A love letter from a young mother to her daughter, the film tells the story of Waad al-Kateab's life through five years of the uprising in Aleppo, Syria as she falls in love, gets married and gives birth to Sama, all while cataclysmic conflict rises around her.

Her camera captures incredible stories of loss, laughter and survival as Waad wrestles with an impossible choice- whether or not to flee the city to protect her daughter's life, when leaving means abandoning the struggle for freedom for which she has already sacrificed so much.

The film is the first feature documentary by Emmy award-winning filmmakers, Waad al-Kateab and Edward Watts.

FOR SAMA - PRODUCED BY CHANNEL 4 NEWS/ITN PRODUCTIONS FOR CHANNEL 4 AND FRONTLINE PBS.

I chose to include the book, Unsettling Empathy, as the author describes trauma as well as all the different kinds of trauma.

From my Reader Response, "Cultural trauma relates to a group of people who were exposed to a situation that caused trauma, examples can be hostages, prisoners, slavery, or the conflict in the Middle East." Reading this quote we can understand that the type of trauma from The Beekeeper of Aleppo, is cultural trauma.

This is a moment from the Waiting For the Barbarians movie, from when the Magistrate was returning the barbarian girl back home.

Nadine Gordimer's, Once Upon a Time, is an essay that has the same concept as Waiting For the Barbarians, such as the ideas of empire and othering.

I include this quote from my Reader Response that shows the Othering concept, "we see the othering concept as the people in the streets, the intruders; she talked about them tying up housemaids and sawing through the iron bars on doors and windows....they would sit on the curbs by the houses under the trees, begging, they drank and discarded the bottles in the streets and would sleep in front of the homes' gates."

The concept of Empire can be shown in another quote from my Reader Response, "Each house on this street looks like its own empire, except they aren't ruling over anyone, there is no authority figure; the homeowners are trying to keep he people in the street out." From reading this story, you get the visual of this street looking like a prison, but the idea of it being a prison is reversed because instead of trying to keep people in, they're trying to keep people out. Similar to Waiting for the Barbarians, it is a prison they are in, but they are also scared of the barbarians, so they're also trying to keep them out as well as keep prisoners in.

Witnessing and Testimony shows both the theme of testimony as well as the idea of othering which is also shown in Waiting For the Barbarians.

I've included this poem as it has a form of reconciliation that almost anyone can relate to. The poem revolves around this kitchen table that this family gathers at everyday, this table has seen everyone at their high and lows, but it also reminds us of the Indian Reservation when she says "The world begins at a kitchen table" though not a kitchen table, but the reservation itself; and the same relation can also be made about the title "Perhaps the World Ends Here", since nobody ever leaves the Indian Reservation.

The world begins at a kitchen table. No matter what, we must eat to live.

This is an essay by Kyle Whyte, I've included this because he talks a lot about the Indigenous people being treated poorly which is related to the novel. He describes Collective Continuance as, "an understanding of existence as living through diverse constantly changing relationships with different species, ancestors, future generations, and spiritual and ecological beings." In the novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian, Junior was having relationship conflicts with his teacher, his best friend, his sister, dad, his new friend at the new school, he also talks about the tall tree him and his best friend climbed, and the lake they swam in, giving Junior this Collective Continuance.
