www.iroquoismuseum.org<\/a> at 324 Caverns Road, Howes Cave, New York, 12092. This is a wonderful cultural resource just east of Albany, New York, off of I-88. Should you ever be in the area, please drop in and say hello to Steph Shultes, the curator and MikeTarbell the museum’s outstanding educator. We shared lunch, asked questions, and Michael spent real quality time conversing with the turtles. Not only is it a cultural icon for road-weary anthropologists, but any place that rescues turtles lies close to the heart of Creation.<\/p>\nThe following day we were able to journey to Victor, New York, just southeast of Rochester off 1-90.

The museum was closed, but the trail around the ridgetop site is stunning. <\/p>\n

Tomorrow we meet with our publisher at Tor\/Forge to discuss plans for the release of PEOPLE OF THE LONGHOUSE. Hopefully we’ll be back this summer to sign copies for our fans. To the booksellers, managers, and staff that we’ve met, we say thank you for your warm welcomes. Hopefully our discussions have led you to a fuller appreciation of North America’s Native heritage, and the contribution of Iroquois political philosophy to the world in general.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
