About the author

Jamake Highwater, born as Jackie Marks, and also known as Jay or J Marks (14 February 1931–June 3, 2001), was an American writer and journalist of eastern European Jewish ancestry.[1] From the late 1960s he claimed to be of Native American ancestry, specifically Cherokee. In that period, he published extensively under the name of Jamake Highwater. One version of his shifting story was that he had been adopted as a child and taken from his Indian home in Montana to grow up in a Greek or Armenian family in Los Angeles, California.

Reviews

[Amanda Lynn · Rating 1 out of 5]

Do some research on this author before reading and decide if Jamake Highwater is worth your time. My conclusion is that he's a fraud and the only reason I looked him up halfway through the book is because something was just off about the way he wrote.
This author should not be held in esteem or supported.
