Listening to Native Americans (working title)

A work in progress, the books is comprised of interviews with a wide variety of Native people throughout the United States -- whether on or off reservations.

Interviewees speak not only about their own lives, but about issues that affect "Indian Country" today.

Interviews thus far include a Kiowa powwow mc and drug counselor, a Yupik school secretary, a Lakota director of women's shelters, an Ojibwe elder, an Osage lawyer, a Chicago Navajo-Lakota cultural interpreter, a Yurok prison inmate (and artist), and a Hopi journalist.

Interviews planned for August, 2007 include a Penobscot leader and a Yakama fisheries spokeswoman, who is also a comedienne.

If you have any suggestions regarding interviewees or funding (donations may be made via a non-profit fiscal agent that benefits the Native organization Cangleska), please contact the author.
