  Sasha LaPointe has always longed for a sense of home. When she was a child, her family moved around frequently, often staying in barely habitable church attics and trailers, dangerous places for young Sasha. 
   
   
    
  With little more to guide her than a passion for the thriving punk scene of the Pacific Northwest and a desire to live up to the responsibility of being the namesake of her beloved great-grandmother—a linguist who helped preserve her Indigenous language of Lushootseed—Sasha throws herself headlong into the world, determined to build a better future for herself and her people. 
   
   
    
  Set against a backdrop of the breathtaking beauty of Coast Salish ancestral land and imbued with the universal spirit of punk, Red Paint is ultimately a story of the ways we learn to find our true selves while fighting for our right to claim a place of our own. 
   
   
    
  Examining what it means to be vulnerable in love and in art, Sasha offers up an unblinking reckoning with personal traumas amplified by the collective historical traumas of colonialism and genocide that continue to haunt native peoples. Red Paint is an intersectional autobiography of lineage, resilience, and, above all, the ability to heal.

  Did you know that Lusius Quietus, for whom the Kitos War was named, was one of only a few African commanders to attain the rank of senator for his services in the Roman army? 
  Lusius Quietus was the military commander responsible for helping quell one of the biggest rebellions in Roman history. The conflict was named the Kitos War, but how much do we know about it? 
  The topic itself, much like other major Jewish revolts against Rome, is difficult to discuss due to the scarcity of historical evidence. But in this handy tome, you’ll learn some of the basics of the Kitos War. We have included facts and hypotheses constructed from available historical data found in scrolls, inscriptions, statues, and archaeological findings. 
  In this audiobook, you’ll learn the potential true nature of the conflict, one of the few rebellions that sprawled across three continents and still had the character of a nationalistic, populist revolution, a rarity in the ancient world. You will also see both the Jews and the Romans in a new light. 
  Aside from that, you’ll also learn the answers to the following questions:What were some of the short-term and long-term causes of the revolt?What were the relations between Jews and other people groups in both Judea and the Diaspora?How did the Romans treat the Jews?How did events from the First Jewish Revolt possibly affect the anti-Roman sentiment among the Jews?Was the revolt a result of a coordinated attack or simply a string of multiple coinciding rebellions?Did Emperors Trajan and Hadrian play a major role in the Jewish revolts?What was the economic impact of the fighting?How did the outcome of the war affect the surviving Jews in the empire?And so much more!
