Passing the tradition on through books!
Old Stories - New History – Cohanzick Lenape Village Tales Series
I offer imagination that brings the past to life. I wrote Seek the Better Place to add to Tale of the Turkeys' Detailed Tale, The Creator's Great Soup, The Blossoms of Bright Flower, The Wishing Doll Whisper Wind Song to include our people in the history of books. Like all others, sharing stories with my children and grandchildren, and future generations is a part of my legacy.
Often, we Natives are portrayed as something that is from the past. We are alive and thriving, and there are many underrepresented artists or never mentioned in mainstream media.
We are aware, and it is evident that we are significantly under-represented in movies, commercials, and television and primarily as a subject of books, and many artists should be acknowledged and encouraged to publish their stories.
I have decided to publish this book series for my children and grandchildren so they could have these stories from me in their hearts and to be able to pass this down like any other books that they love.
I am incredibly excited that I can join such a small group of talented Native American authors. It took much courage for me to put my stories in print, but I did it. We must encourage others to tell their stories and give them access to be able to publish.
It is an honor to be able to share my books. If we do not share it with you, then you will not remember us.
