from bestselling Native American author
Dianna Good Sky
Native American Author
Warrior Spirit Rising is the inspiring true account of Gene Goodsky, as told through the eyes of his oldest daughter, Dianna, a Native American author.
Gene was raised in the North Woods of Minnesota, on the tribal lands of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa. Surviving years of cultural genocide, racism, and the Vietnam War left him broken—battling severe PTSD and alcohol abuse.
In this stunning tale of Native American perseverance, Good Sky unravels the history of her father, her family, and her people, and the near-death experience that would change their lives forever. With both wit and honesty, she explores the devastating loss of heritage that has impacted generations of Native Americans, and how the powerful choice to forgive can leave a legacy.

A little bit about
Dianna Good Sky
Native American Author
Dianna Marie Good Sky was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, and is 13/16ths Native American Indian. 13/16 parts Ojibwe Native to be exact. She is a registered member of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa located in Northern Minnesota and spent most of her young life there. Until her Navy dad took the whole family along with him to his duty stations, after Vietnam of course. Dianna joined the Navy herself when she was 18 and retired as a Navy Chief Petty Officer in 1995. While she was finding ways to heal from her own military-related trauma, she discovered that writing had beautiful healing properties and that maybe others could benefit from her stories. Besides, she’s Native American and storytelling comes naturally to her. She has not won awards yet, but, she has won the hearts of those who read her stories. She looks forward to adding her awards here. Thank you/MiiGwetch.

Loved this book!!!

A true, life affirming, family story. I was expecting a Navy story, but this is a story of SO much more than just the Navy’s impact on Mr. Goodsky’s life. From the start, the good and bad, the sadness and joy – I laughed and cried along with the story of Mr. Goodsky’s journey as he lost, and then found, himself and his family.

This book was well written and thought through. In our current times of systemic racism, this is a different perspective, through the eyes of a native american woman and her father. The struggles of their family, resonates in so many others that have lived on or near a reservation, including myself. This book, will take you through many emotions, but more importantly, provides a better understanding of a culture and people that are so often, misunderstood. I highly recommend reading this book, and sharing the story with others.
