Osiyo, relatives! Many of the articles I’ve published and the blog posts I’ve shared in the past few years come from a rather massive book project: a collection of stories, spanning 1491 to the present, coast to coast, hundreds of tribes – and, obviously, from a Native perspective.
Stephen Carr Hampton is an enrolled citizen of Cherokee Nation, an avid birder since age 7, and a former resource economist for the California Department of Fish & Game, where he worked as a tribal liaison and conducted natural resource damage assessments and oversaw environmental restoration projects after oil spills. He writes most often about Native history and contemporary issues, birds, and climate change.
