Fred is the author of Grandma's Spirit Calling Us Home to Tyendinaga, a book about his Tyendinaga Mohawk ancestors from the mid-1600s to the 1900s. Fred was born in 1969 in Belleville, Ontario, Canada (next door to Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory). He has lived in this area most of his life. Fred has helped with the marketing and promotion of two books: And Grandma Said by Mohawk elder Tom Porter and What I Need To Leave Behind by elder Betty Maracle. Fred has traveled across North America to meet and learn traditional knowledge, spirituality and history from many elders. He has done public speaking and is a social activist. Fred has worked on an environmental contaminants research project at Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory in association with Trent University, and he has worked for the environmental department for National Defense. For the past nine years, Fred has been running his own business.Production Credits:Tiokasin Ghosthorse (Lakota), Host and Executive ProducerLiz Hill (Red Lake Ojibwe), ProducerMalcolm Burn, Studio Engineer, Radio Kingston, WKNY 1490 AM and 107.9 FM, Kingston, NYTiokasin Ghosthorse, Audio EditorMusic Selections:1.
