Author tea
Meet John Washakie, author of Yuse: The Bully and the Bear and Yuse and the Spirit.
Before he started writing, John Washakie spent 18 years on the Eastern Shoshone Business Council. While on the Council, he made numerous presentations to the House of Representatives and Senate Select Committee on Indian Affairs. He was appointed by 3 different Department of Interior Secretaries to serve on several national committees to address issues from Reorganization of the Bureau of Indian Affairs to Energy policy. He is the great grandson of Chief Washakie whose statue was recently placed in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol. He earned a B.A. in History from the University of Wyoming. He is a veteran of the Vietnam War. He claims to be an average writer and just a good listener when his grandmother, uncles, or anyone else told stories. With the tradition of storytelling being almost gone, John decided he must use the new technologies of computers, printing and publishing to save these stories so that they would once again be passed on.
