I served as the top assistant to Onondaga Chief Paul Waterman. That didn't pay bills, of course -- it always made more! -- so I was employed at the county mental health clinic. I found the native way of life offered many concepts of value for our "modern" society.

I'll try to come up with some good books, etc. Although I am admittedly subjective, one of my favorites was written by my sons, who like their sisters grew up convinced Paul was their grandfather. (And they "knew" Rubin "Hurricane" Carter was their uncle!) But it's out of print for now. Probably anything by the late Vine Deloria Jr is worth reading.
