    “Stamp It Holy” describes a thirteen-year journey of Native youth from age twelve to eighteen. It takes place in Arizona border towns adjacent to Navajo and Hopi Reservations. In the forty-eight stories, the youth and their mentor enjoy spirited dialogues on issues facing these at-risk kids. Many of the stories include practical exercises on how to handle pain or divert anger. Daily reflections on activities like serving at food banks bring out the wisdom of their Native heritage.At first, the youth visibly exhibit societal pain by acting out. They talk of being trapped without a future and being unable to change. Certain turning points shape us: inviting the disenfranchised to the group, taking trips for alternative options, choosing homelessness as our purpose, making Skid Road our symbol of caring, and incorporating Native traditions. An image of a basic shift happened the first time we went to the Pacific Ocean. Several youth told me that they would just play in the sand. Nothing could make them go into the ocean. When we arrived, everyone looked at each other and then rushed into the ocean with all their street clothes on. As they jumped and frolicked in the ocean, I realized that I had never seen them just playing. I saw that transformation was possible.The book is organized into three sections and an appendix. I.

Reclaiming Stories to Restore Dignity.      Stories are fo
