Garden of Doom E.243 Turtle Island

Professor Taylor Keen joins the Garden to discuss his new book (featured author on the Graham Hancock site) "Rediscovering Turtle Island" and creation stories and other tales of the First Nations, Taylor Keen is a teacher, community builder, and Native American thought leader based out of Omaha, Nebraska.  His back story is as diverse as it is impressive—he’s a member of both the Omaha Tribe and the Cherokee Nation, attended Dartmouth College (BA) and Harvard University (Masters of Public Policy, MBA), and enjoyed a successful stint in corporate America before returning to Nebraska to teach entrepreneurship and management at Creighton University.  In addition to these accomplishments, he was pivotal in the Sacred Seed Project. From Star Heroes to Redhorn and Thunderbirds, we cover many items from North America. We engage in some comparative mythology discussion as well.
