Hi. Nice to meet you. You are welcome. I studied with the western band of Cherokees for a month in the Cherokee Nation of Tahlequah, OK. It was for a college summer study abroad course. So amazing. We read a lot of books too and these were the ones that most fascinated me, I think you'll enjoy them regardless of their super-natural qualities, which is oftentimes connected with Natives (vampires, utopias, myths, etc.). Good luck and nice to meet you, once again.
I don't object to supernatural qualities at all, in fact I like that. You said you were in Oklahoma for a summer study abroad. Do you live outside the U.S.?
Tahlequah seems like a nice little town. Lots of very local culture there, that's for certain. Have you ever been to Cherokee, North Carolina, to the home of the Eastern band of Cherokees? That's a very interesting place as well, and very beautiful country.
Jean Hager has another series set in Tahlequah, I will post that in the list as well.
I like the supernatural too. I live in Colorado. Tahlequah is a great place. I have been through Cherokee, NC but not the tourism part of it. I lived in NC from 1995-2008. I loved the mountains there, of course. Very beautiful. I'm interested in knowing more about the Jean Hager series, sounds great.
Hager's books can be a little bit hard to find. I hope you can get your hands on some of them. I saw on her bio that she has written under several pseudonyms, none of which I'd ever heard of. I'll have to research her books a little.I also lived in East Tennessee for many years, and I loved western North Carolina.

Hi Angela, Lucky you! I have some bead earrings made by the Cherokees and later got some near Jackson Hole but at the moment I forget which tribe that was. I love anything supernatural. I love the legend that Stephenie Meyer put into her Twilight Saga. The one about the third wife. It was great!
Years ago I got a very large Eye of God made by a Lipan Apache woman and then resold it for much more.
I got it at a gun show. I love to collect these things. I also have a few books by Mary Summer Wind but they are totally supernatural about ghosts and she wrote them in this area not on the reservation.

Angela, Bone Game: A Novel sounds especially interesting. I find it interesting that two of your books involve the Choctaw nation. That's not the nation I would predict to be commonly written about. I'm pretty sure there are likely more written about the Navajo and Cherokee nations than any other.
I myself live about 5 miles from the headquarters and grounds of the Iowa tribe. They are a really small tribe. I've also never seen any fiction involving Pawnees or the Osage nation. The Pawnee tribe doesn't surprise me, the Osage nation does surprise me.
