I’ve been working on the final edits of Shape Shifter and went to Oklahoma last week to meet with the Chairman (aka Chief) and the Elder of my tribe helping with the translations to obtain their approval and blessings on my project. During my short visit, Chairman Coffey took me to SIA (pronounced see-a) meaning ‘feather’ in Comanche. Sia is a tribal Eagle Sanctuary ran by Bill and Troy who are the scientist and caretakers of the facility – these two men have spirits who literally soar with the eagles!
