New Book - Cherokee Stories of the Turtle Island Liars’ Club
Congrats to Professor Chris Teuton and contributors Hastings Shade, Sammy Still, Sequoyah Guess and Woody Hansen for a refreshing new book.
Here's part of the publisher's blurb:
"A collection of forty interwoven stories, conversations, and teachings about Western Cherokee life, beliefs, and the art of storytelling, the book orchestrates a multilayered conversation between a group of honored Cherokee elders, storytellers, and knowledge-keepers and the communities their stories touch."
Steve Russell's New Book
2016
Cherokee author Steve Russell's new book is out - as blogged by Matthew Fletcher. Steve humbly failed to shamelessly self-promote this, so I'll do it for him. Congrats Steve and happy semi-retirement! The book can be purchased (at a very reasonable price) by Carolina Academic Press here.
