ROSS HAMILTON who has been a guest on the show before and always has interesting insights and knowledge to share, is the author of several books on Native American prehistory including: "The Mystery of the Serpent Mound," "A Tradition of Giants," and "Star Mounds: Legacy of a Native American Mystery." His research specialty is the lost and forgotten history of North America and her ancient legends that seem to revolve around a profoundly mysterious country that once dominated the landscape known from oral tradition as Turtle Island.

MARTIN PRECHTEL (CREE) to continue a discussion began last month about Prechtel's most recent book, "The Smell of Rain on Dust: Grief and Praise." A leading thinker, writer, and teacher in the search for the Indigenous soul in all people, Prechtel is a dedicated student of eloquence, history, language and an ongoing fresh approach.
