He grew up in these two communities and still has family there today. He is half Native American and half Hispanic—an enrolled member of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, with Cherokee and Hispanic ancestry. He holds an M.A. in English from the University of Oklahoma, with a concentration in Native American Literature. He also holds a B.F.A. in Creative Writing from the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), with a minor in Indigenous Liberal Studies. He's a recipient of the Truman Capote Scholarship Award through IAIA, and also a winner of the Native Writer Award through the Taos Summer Writers Conference. He has a short story forthcoming in Good Medicine: An Anthology of Native American Humor, and also has short stories published in South Dakota Review, American Short Fiction, Yellow Medicine Review, Surreal South ’09, and Red Ink Magazine.vizualizați mai puține
