My Place Among Them by J. Stanion Wins 2023 NYC Big Book Award for Cultural Heritage

United States, 25th Sep 2024, –
My Place Among Them, the debut novel by J. Stanion, has been awarded the 2023 NYC Big Book Award for Cultural Heritage. This recognition highlights the novel’s contribution to the exploration of Indigenous history and the complex dynamics of cultural identity during a critical period in U.S. history.
The novel portrays John Iron Horse, a twelve-year-old survivor of the Wounded Knee Massacre, who is forced into the U.S. government’s Indian Education program. The novel follows John’s journey as he strives to preserve his Lakota identity while facing a boarding school system designed to assimilate Indigenous children.
The story also features Carter Heath, a teacher at the boarding school who initially views his role through a lens of indifference but later becomes an advocate for his Indigenous students. The novel explores the evolving relationship between John and Carter as they confront the discriminatory policies of the school, posing the question, “Can the bond between an extraordinary student and a dedicated teacher survive in a world that pits red man against white?”
J. Stanion emphasized the importance of transcending cultural differences during her The World’s Best Magazine interview. “I hope readers will come to believe as I do that the color of one’s skin or individual beliefs should not come between people,” she explained. Through the relationship between her characters John Iron Horse and Carter Heath, she aimed to explore the power of respect and understanding amid political and cultural conflicts.
Similarly, in the Behance article titled “The Art of Collecting: How J. Stanion’s Love for Pottery Fuels Her Creative Spirit,” Glenn Prior reflects on how J. Stanion’s passion for Pine Ridge Pottery profoundly influences her writing. Prior notes, “Stanion’s dedication to collecting Indigenous art has become a wellspring of inspiration, deeply infusing her storytelling with cultural authenticity.” He emphasizes how Stanion’s appreciation for the craftsmanship and history behind each piece of pottery contributes to the richness of her novel, My Place Among Them. According to Prior, “The tactile connection Stanion feels with the pottery helps her craft narratives that resonate with both historical depth and emotional authenticity.” This blend of art and storytelling highlights how Stanion’s creative process is deeply intertwined with her respect for cultural heritage.
J. Stanion, in an interview, said her admiration for Lakota Ledger art extends beyond its beauty; it serves as a narrative tool in My Place Among Them. In the same Vents Magazine interview, she highlighted how a piece by Quinton Maldonado shaped her character, John: “It is of a Lakota man, swaddled in an American flag…a perfect melding of the conflict the Lakota people in my story must have felt.” She also recognized poignant artwork to have helped her communicate the emotional and cultural tensions of her characters, adding depth to the story’s themes of identity and survival.
In addition to the NYC Big Book Award, My Place Among Them has received several other accolades, including the BREW Fiction Book Excellence Award for Political Fiction of the Year 2023 and the BREW Seal of Excellence. The novel’s in-depth research and narrative have earned it recognition for its contribution to cultural heritage and historical fiction.

The book is available in digital, paperback, and hardbound editions through major retailer sites such as Amazon.

Australia, 24th Feb 2025, – JC Dental Como has announced the introduction of advanced cosmetic dentistry services to enhance patient access to a wider range of dental care options in Perth. The expansion aligns with the clinic’s commitment to comprehensive treatment approaches and modern techniques in aesthetic dentistry.

The clinic’s approach ensures that patients receive informed guidance on available procedures tailored to their individual needs.
The demand for cosmetic dentistry continues to grow as more people seek to improve their smiles and boost their confidence.

This initiative supports effective communication for individuals who prefer consultations in their native language.

The availability of a Mandarin-speaking dentist also allows for a more personalised approach to treatment planning and patient education.

In addition to cosmetic treatments, JC Dental Como maintains its focus on general and preventive dentistry, ensuring that patients receive well-rounded dental care. The integration of advanced technology supports efficiency in diagnosis and treatment planning. The clinic’s use of digital tools allows for more precise treatment outcomes and streamlined procedures, reducing the need for multiple visits.
As part of its ongoing efforts to enhance patient experience, JC Dental Como is also implementing educational initiatives to provide information on dental hygiene, treatment options, and long-term care. These resources aim to empower patients to make informed decisions about their oral health and maintenance.
Dr Teh highlighted the clinic’s commitment to staying informed on industry advancements and evolving patient needs, “Advancements in digital dentistry continue to enhance precision in treatment outcomes.

TOGO Vape Strengthens Product Line with Premium Nicotine Pouches
Canada, 19th Feb 2025, – Togo Vape has expanded its product offerings with the addition of premium nicotine pouches. The move reflects broader shifts in the nicotine industry as more consumers seek alternatives to traditional tobacco products.

Nicotine pouches, which are smokeless and tobacco-free, have gained traction in recent years among adults looking for discreet options. Their rising popularity has been linked to changing consumer preferences, evolving regulations, and advancements in nicotine delivery methods.
“Expanding into the nicotine pouch category aligns with industry trends and consumer demand for alternative products,” said Alex, General Manager of Togo Vape. “The market is shifting towards smokeless options, and this addition reflects the broader movement within the nicotine industry.”
The expansion follows a period of sustained growth in the nicotine pouch market, with increased availability across various retail channels. Industry analysts have pointed to factors such as changing smoking habits, regulatory changes, and product innovation as key drivers behind this shift. The inclusion of nicotine pouches in Togo Vape’s product line up follows a similar trajectory seen across the industry, where companies are diversifying offerings to meet evolving consumer needs.

While nicotine pouches have been on the market for several years, recent developments have contributed to their increasing presence in both physical and online retail spaces. Market reports indicate that interest in alternative nicotine products continues to grow, with a significant share of adult consumers exploring non-combustible options. The availability of different strengths and flavours has played a role in broadening the appeal of these products.
Togo Vape’s expansion into this category reflects ongoing changes in the broader nicotine market. Industry observers have noted that consumer behaviour continues to shift as regulatory landscapes evolve and new product categories emerge. The nicotine pouch segment has become an area of interest for retailers and manufacturers seeking to provide more diverse options.

“The nicotine industry is undergoing a period of transformation, with ongoing innovation and regulatory shifts shaping the future of the market,” said Alex. “As the industry evolves, it is important to remain responsive to changes while maintaining a focus on compliance and consumer preferences.”
Industry forecasts suggest continued growth in the nicotine pouch segment, driven by product development, increased awareness, and broader retail distribution. The long-term outlook for alternative nicotine products remains subject to regulatory decisions and consumer adoption trends.
