About the Author

Lisa A Hart was born in California but grew up in rural Connecticut on 25 acres of fields, woods, streams -- and a pond. She credits her father for helping her develop a positive and respectful bond with nature and her mother for introducing her to diverse and interesting cultures. Lisa graduated from Warren Wilson College (1985; BA in Intercultural Studies) and The University of Connecticut (1989; MA in Medical Anthropology). She has worked as Associate Director of a private non-profit organization in North Carolina, owner of a landscaping company, and partner in an organic gardening business. Lisa presently lives in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York. Several years ago, Lisa became interested in indigenous wisdom and the potential contribution that such information could make to the basic education of children in general. Joe Liles is from North Carolina and has degrees from North Carolina State University's College of Design in Landscape Architecture/Community Organization and the University of Michigan in Environmental Education. Joe has been an art teacher for 35 years, first teaching at the American Indian Movement's Red School House in Minnesota and later at the NC School of Science and Mathematics. Joe has illustrated several books over the years, starting in 1979. Joe continues his involvement with American Indian communities by singing with the powwow drum group, Southern Sun, and writing and illustrating the serial "A Drumstick's Story" for News from Indian Country. Joe recently completed a thru-hike of the 2,200-mile-long Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine. Edward Benton Banai is a full-blooded Ojibwe [Chippewa] of the fish clan.
