the author always felt a strong pull to the West and its native peoples.
Perhaps this curiosity came from the Indian name given to her by her father or
her family’s stories about the Indians who had once lived on the land claimed
by her ancestors. Whatever the reasons, Winona Garmhausen
moved to the Southwest in 1972 and devoted the next twenty-seven years to
working with and for native American peoples.
Her Southwestern Indian friends
nudged her toward seeking out the Native Americans whose memories and artifacts
she had grown up with in the northwest corner of Ohio. During this personal journey, Winona
found her ancestors and the Shawnee Indians who had lived side by side as
neighbors and friends.
