I am overwhelmed with work right now. Since August, I have been working with Susan Lobo and Steve Talbot on

the 3rd Edition of the popular Native American Studies textbook, Native American Voices: A Reader for Pearson/Prentice Hall. I am honored to be a co-editor with these two well respected academics!
We are down to editing the final manuscript and hope to turn it in to the publisher by February 15th. Although, it is already available on pre-order from Amazon! Click here to order (shameless self promotion)! I am working on a flyer for the book, which I will post soon.
- Native American Voices: A Reader, Second Edition
