Creative, Adaptable and Enduring
Public interest in the First Nations way of life is mounting. Through numerous onsite visits to Aboriginal communities from Alberta and Saskatchewan to Texas (including fourteen visits to the Native American southwest), researchers John W. Friesen and Virginia Lyons Friesen have pursued their interests in Plains Indian and Métis history. Their special interests include Indigenous Spirituality and Theology, Native Legends, art and education. Their scholarly repertoire includes teaching, conducting workshops, and publishing.

The Friesens’ literary journey is actually an educational opportunity of a lifetime, and for educators, students, libraries and others who count on well-documented facts to guarantee accurate results, one that shouldn’t be missed. Just as they have in all eight of the titles they’ve co-written since 2001, John and Virginia Friesen have used thorough research techniques that ensure historical accuracy…It is an outstanding piece of craftsmanship that proves there’s nothing more powerful than the written word…
