 Coming Soon - New Children’s Book - “The Creators Great Soup” NEW book exhibits a rich history of a Native American creation story which are among the thousands of accounts for the origins of our world. Native Americans have the ability to seek spiritual power in the natural world which allows for a deeper understanding of the connections that all beings have with each other. Native American origin stories are rooted in mystery and legend. Most stories are passed down orally from generation to generation focusing on children. November 2019, Bridgeton, New Jersey, USA. Did you know that all Native American cultures offer many creation legends? Ideas and stories about the beginning of the world are all so different but all lead to the same conclusion that we are all related. “We must teach the children about nature and relationships at an early age in order for them to be able to develop rich and meaningful thinking and decisions”. Come along on this fun story written by a member of the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Indian Tribe, Tyrese Gould Jacinto, that tells about our creation. Ms. Gould Jacinto is a skilled craftsperson in Lenape arts, especially beadwork and basket weaving. The mother of five children and 2 grandchildren, she is eager to pass on Lenape traditions to future generations. "If we do not persevere, these arts will not continue or be passed down". Native American stories are always told to the children, not only keep history, but it allows them to use their great imagination about subjects that have deep hidden meanings of the way things really are. This story is great for all ages! The main subject of this story is Kishelëmukònk Ahkanshi Kshitay which means The Creators Great Soup in Lenape. With great illustrations to accompany the words, you will be inspired to “contemplate the universe” and how we are related to everything that was created.

New Book, Tale of the Turkeys’ Detailed Tail, is a book inspired by an actual place. This book was written to bring attention to a little trading post that features handmade Native American art created by myself the author, Tyrese Gould Jacinto.
We have a small ranch and farm in South New Jersey, located just south of Bridgeton. Bridgeton is the home town of the local Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Tribe. In fact, the home of the trading post, which is named Turkey Tale Trading Post, is just 3 miles away from the Cohansick Tribal Grounds owned and operated by the tribe. We chose to remain in this area because of the rich heritage, green open space and beautiful seasons that we all enjoy. Not only is there wildlife and nature, but the tribal families still reside in abundance in this area. We travel to the local markets, events and towns and always see someone familiar. What a wonderful way to exist. Some from the outside may see crumbling structures, however, we see rich history and culture that is beaming with excitement and joy. Some of the items offered at the trading post are shell pouches, pine needle basketry, leather pouches, gourd art and raw materials to try it for yourself. The farm features animals such as cows, goats, sheep, alpacas, dogs, cats, and birds. A small income is generated by the sale of guinea hens from the spring to late summer. The farm produces about 1000 guineas yearly for sale to local individuals for tick and bug control. Tale of the Turkeys’ Detail Tail is a fun and creative way to promote the local trading post.

Tale of the Turkeys' Detailed Tail
It is time for a new way to celebrate in honor of Native American Heritage Month and it would be appropriate to mention Native American artists from around the country and the world.
Often times, we as Natives are portrayed as something that is from the past especially during November, Native American heritage month. When in fact we are alive and thriving and there are many artists that are underrepresented or never mentioned in mainstream media. 
In my recent research to find all of the children's books that were written and created by Native Americans, I found that there are very few lists that reflect this underrepresented population. I know there are more books!
It is imperative that we honor the artist of today, in the month of November, instead of highlighting the events of the past. We cannot change the past but we can focus on the future. There are many more artists that are not being supported and do not have the ability to promote their work beyond the mainstream media that focuses on only Native American artist by Native American artist. 
I was surprised to see that each list that I found was very short. I added my book to these lists but the lists were sporadic and underrepresented in media. I am aware that there are many Native American groups on social media where people can showcase their work, but it needs to go beyond those small focused groups and books and art must be supported by the schools, daycares and any other outlets that would showcase the Native American artist of today.
We are aware and it is obvious that we are very underrepresented in movies, commercials and television and especially as a subject of books, however, there are many artists that should be acknowledged and encouraged to publish their stories. There are many of us that have the talent to tell stories however, there is no one to push us to publish these stories. I have decided to publish this book for my children and grandchildren so they could have this story from me in their hearts and to be able to pass this down like any other books that they love. 
I have found a little over 40 books that were written by Native American authors and I am extremely excited that I can join such a small group of talented authors, but I know that there are many more. It took a lot of courage for me to put my story in print, but I did it. It takes a lot of courage for humble people to publish their stories, but it is important that we encourage each other to tell our story and give each other access to be able to be published.
I wrote “Tale of the Turkeys’ Detailed Tale” and this is just the beginning. Like all others, I have many stories in my heart that I would like to publish so that I can share them all with my children and my grandchildren and for future generations, as a part of my legacy. 
Please support Native American artists whether it be purchasing paintings and prints, books, or art, especially during the honorable Native American Heritage Month. It is an honor to be able to share my book and my talents with the world. If we do not share it with you, then you will not remember us.
Please encourage the schools and teachers to focus on the books and stories written by Native American Authors of today and steer away from the stories that were told about us as if we no longer exist today. It is time for a new way to celebrate Native American Heritage Month! We are still here! Thank you and God bless. Tyrese Gould Jacinto
