About
What I Do
I interpret Native American culture to the public. Using short talks and demonstrations, I explain to people how Native Americans lived, survived, and thrived for thousands of years before the arrival of white settlers in North America. Artifacts I use are those I have made or either been made or gifted to me by fellow interpreters.

The ground on which we stand is sacred, the blood of our ancestors. - Plenty Coups, Chief of the Crow Indians, 1848-1932
Why I Do It
When I was very young, I would wander through the woods behind my home and imagine how American Indians made bows and arrows out of sticks. I tried to bend sticks like bows and shoot other sticks from them like arrows. Of course, the sticks broke. When I was much older, I decided to learn how the Indians made these things. This passion led me to learn about many other aspects of their culture. As I amassed knowledge about this, I decided to share it with other people.
