Alicia Harris (Nakota) beautifully describes the complexity and the difficulty associated with being mixed-race. For Harris, her spiritual experiences as a white/Nakota Mormon straddle two powerful traditions, both of which have claim on her. How she negotiates both in this "Middle" compels her to ask "about the ways that these two views of self-seeing in relation to the world and to Creation inform and enhance one another. I love to try to see the ways that each view can create space and time for the other. Is this what I am called upon, as a Middle, to do?"
