Elaine Thanks for your contributions, Alice and Angela. I have some new suggestions based on them!

Angela, Bone Game: A Novel sounds especially interesting. I find it interesting that two of your books involve the Choctaw nation. That's not the nation I would predict to be commonly written about. I'm pretty sure there are likely more written about the Navajo and Cherokee nations than any other.

I myself live about 5 miles from the headquarters and grounds of the Iowa tribe. They are a really small tribe. I've also never seen any fiction involving Pawnees or the Osage nation. The Pawnee tribe doesn't surprise me, the Osage nation does surprise me.

Angela Hi. Nice to meet you. You are welcome. I studied with the western band of Cherokees for a month in the Cherokee Nation of Tahlequah, OK. It was for a college summer study abroad course. So amazing. We read a lot of books too and these were the ones that most fascinated me, I think you'll enjoy them regardless of their super-natural qualities, which is oftentimes connected with Natives (vampires, utopias, myths, etc.). Good luck and nice to meet you, once again.

Elaine I don't object to supernatural qualities at all, in fact I like that.

You said you were in Oklahoma for a summer study abroad. Do you live outside the U.S.?

Tahlequah seems like a nice little town. Lots of very local culture there, that's for certain. Have you ever been to Cherokee, North Carolina, to the home of the Eastern band of Cherokees? That's a very interesting place as well, and very beautiful country.

Jean Hager has another series set in Tahlequah, I will post that in the list as well.

Angela I like the supernatural too. I live in Colorado. Tahlequah is a great place. I have been through Cherokee, NC but not the tourism part of it. I lived in NC from 1995-2008. I loved the mountains there, of course. Very beautiful. I'm interested in knowing more about the Jean Hager series, sounds great.

Elaine Hager's books can be a little bit hard to find. I hope you can get your hands on some of them. I saw on her bio that she has written under several pseudonyms, none of which I'd ever heard of. I'll have to research her books a little.

I also lived in East Tennessee for many years, and I loved western North Carolina.

Hi Angela, Lucky you! I have some bead earrings made by the Cherokees and later got some near Jackson Hole but at the moment I forget which tribe that was. I love anything supernatural. I love the legend that Stephenie Meyer put into her Twilight Saga. The one about the third wife. It was great!

Years ago I got a very large Eye of God made by a Lipan Apache woman and then resold it for much more.
I got it at a gun show. I love to collect these things. I also have a few books by Mary Summer Wind but they are totally supernatural about ghosts and she wrote them in this area not on the reservation.
