The Cherokee Nation Youth Choir performed for the judges attending the National American Indian Court Judges Association Conference. They sang in their Native language, both acapella (the way their Elders say it should be) and with accompaniment. We also were lucky enough to hear stories from Cherokee Nation Storyteller Janelle Adair.

”Trickster” is a graphic novel-style anthology of Native trickster tales created primarily by Native writers and artists. In a Q&A interview conducted by e-mail, writer/artist Matt Dembicki shared the inside story on his project.
Rob Schmidt: Let’s start with a brief description: What is ”Trickster”?
Matt Dembicki: ”Trickster” is a comics anthology, comprising more than 20 Native American trickster stories. Each story is written by a Native American storyteller and illustrated by a comics artist of the writer’s choosing. The stories cover a range of trickster types – from the more well-known creatures, such as the rabbit and coyote, to less-known characters, such as raccoons and personified spirits such as Moshup – as well as types of American Indian tribes and geographic area.
