"My Friend, the Pine" is the 11th book published by the Indianist Rebecca Netzel at TRIGA - The Publishing House. The protagonist, Tiny, recounts her youth in the Lakota reservation, her family, her escape to the orphanage, and the new perspective offered to her there. This is a nonfiction novel beyond clichés, competently and sensitively written by an author who knows the lives of reservation residents from personal experience - with joys and sorrows, everyday life and celebrations, tradition and modernity. Informative and presented from a vivid perspective, the author takes us into a fascinating world: the life of the Lakota today, between powwows and the internet, Wounded Knee and new hope. Other publications by TRIGA - The Publishing House include: "Parzival. The Secret of the Grail," a historical novel, and "When the Dragon Wrestled with the Eagle," a historical novel.
