Biographie de l'auteur

Born, reared and educated in the Midwest,the author always felt a strong pull to the West and its native peoples.Perhaps this curiosity came from the Indian name given to her by her father orher family's stories about the Indians who had once lived on the land claimedby her ancestors. Whatever the reasons, Winona Garmhausenmoved to the Southwest in 1972 and devoted the next twenty-seven years toworking with and for native American peoples. Her Southwestern Indian friendsnudged her toward seeking out the Native Americans whose memories and artifactsshe had grown up with in the northwest corner of Ohio.¿ During this personal journey, Winonafound her ancestors and the Shawnee Indians who had lived side by side asneighbors and friends.Winona Garmhausenholds a Ph.D. in American Studies from The University of New Mexico.
