At the Opening Ceremony for the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC, one of the First Nations people recommended that I look up Joseph Bruchac's stories to reclaim some of my own lost heritage. Since then, I have GREATLY enjoyed the tape of Gluskabe Stories, as well as several books and other tapes by Mr. Bruchac. Today I am buying a second copy of Gluskabe Stories as a gift.

I hadn't realized how much Mr. Bruchac's stories had impacted me until this experience on a tour bus: As people were getting tired of singing songs to pass the time, suddenly the story about Gluskabe and the Baby popped into my head. Even though I had never told a story to a group before, and even though I had only listened to the tape twice, I told the story and received many rounds of applause for which I sincerely thank Mr. Bruchac. It is a beautiful story and he is clearly a superb teacher to have taught me while I didn't realize he was teaching me.

I've heard that Mr. Bruchac can be found at the Ndakinna Education Center in Greenfield Center, NY (near Albany, NY, which is reachable on Southwest Airlines and by Amtrak among other options). Later this year, I hope to attend a workshop and meet him. :)
