Founder of the Greenfield Press and a contributing editor to Parabola Magazine, Mr. Bruchac has received National Endowment of the Arts grants for his poetry and also to promote the development of prison writers - among many other foundation awards, including the National Education Association Human and Civil Rights Award in 2003. In addition to his extensive body of fictional and non-fictional works, Bruchac has gained considerable fame as a storyteller in Native American and other traditions.
