Born into an organized, inter-generational trafficking and pornography ring operated by family members and others, Christine Stark was bought and sold and filmed for rape alongside other women and children beginning when she was a toddler until she escaped by attending college in another state at age eighteen.  As a woman of Anishinaabe and Cherokee ancestry and family murdered in the Shoah, Ms. Stark inhabits the space where organized rape and genocide meet.  Today, she is an award-winning writer, visual artist, national and international speaker.  Her first novel, Nickels: A Tale of Dissociation, was a Lambda Literary Finalist.  Her essays, poems, and creative non-fiction have appeared in numerous publications, including University of Pennsylvania Law Review; The WIP; Florida Review; The Chalk Circle: Intercultural Prize Winning Essays; When We Become Weavers: Queer Female Poets on the Midwest Experience; Hawk and Handsaw: The Journal of Creative Sustainability; and many others.  Her poem, “Momma’s Song”, was recorded by Fred Ho and the Afro Asian Music Ensemble as a double manga CD.  Ms. Stark is also a co-editor of Not for Sale: Feminists Resisting Prostitution and Pornography and a co-author of “Garden of Truth: The Prostitution and Trafficking of Native Women in Minnesota.” Ms. Stark writes and speaks out of love for those hurt then and now, to prevent this from happening to future generations, and for her ancestors.  From the rapists’ perspective, Ms. Stark was born to be raped.  From her perspective, she was born to stop them, to speak the truth, and to live a good life.
