Hello,

My name is Shane Hawk.

In San Diego, I teach history to sophomores, and—holy moly—for some reason, a lot of them tell me I'm their favorite teacher. Gah. When I'm outside of my classroom, I write Indigenous Horror and bench press my enemies into outer space.

ABOUT BLACK HILLS PRESS

Black Hills Press came to fruition as an attempt to make myself appear more legitimate in the self-publishing world. My career started with a little book titled, Anoka, and no one knew my name or cared, and rightfully so. I wanted to choose a name that stuck out but also paid respect to old Cheyenne land centuries ago. And in a way, I've made many more people aware of what the Black Hills themselves are and the political issues that still hurt them: the broken treaties, the ugly men carved into them, and the fight for the Hills to be returned to the Oceti Sakowin. This press has become more than a publishing imprint for me. It's a means to make some change with the little slice of influence that I have. Because in the end, I just want the stolen land back to the Indigenous. "The land doesn't belong to us, we belong to the land."
