Timeline
Earling's first novel, Perma Red, takes place on the Flathead Indian Reservation in the 1940s.
Louise White Elk, a determined and beautiful young woman, dreams of escaping and belonging.
She comes of age as she is pursued by three dangerous men who will do anything to possess her—police officer Charlie Kicking Woman, the charismatic Baptiste, and Harvey Stoner, who owns nearly everything around him.
This novel won a Spur Award and Medicine Pipe Bearer Award for best first novel from the Western Writers Association, a WILLA Literary Award and the American Book Award.
Perma Red touches on the still prevalent crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women in Montana and throughout the West.
A team of indigenous and women filmmakers are adapting Perma Red for TV.
“Native women need to tell their own stories.
Now is the time for those stories to rise.
Perma Red is only the beginning," Earling is stated as saying on the fundraising page for the adaption.
This work first began as a project during the bicentennial of the Lewis and Clark expedition and is the result of a five year collaboration between Debra Magpie Earling and artist Peter Koch.
The writings are done by Earling, as Koch compiled the historical photographs.
The writings, along with the photographs, hope to illustrate native women’s longstanding struggle and desire for freedom through Sacajewea.
Debra Magpie Earling's debut novel Perma Red was well reviewed in January Magazine.
