We end our celebration of Native American Heritage Month by recognizing the Darcie Little Badger, enrolled member of the Lipan Apache Tribe of Texas.  She is an author, earth scientist, and community organizer/activist.  Her debut novel, Elatsoe, was featured as one of Time Magazine’s 100 Best Fantasy Novels of all Time and an NPR Best Book.  Little Badger has a bachelor’s degree from Princeton and a Ph.D. from Texas A & M.
