I have always been interested in mythology and history. The more I read, the more I realized that there have always been people at the edges of history that we know very little about. I wanted to use them in a story and bring them back into the public's consciousness.

That is why the Indian is always feathered up, he is a relative to the wings of the air.Collection: Native American

I think as a culture today we've forgotten them. This work is a way to help us remember them.

I am convinced that those societies (such as the Native American peoples) which live without government enjoy in their general mass an infinitely greater degree of happiness than those who live under the European governments.

Well, America is unfair, unjust, bigoted, sexist, and misogynistic.Collection: Native American
