Arroyo is a writer, journalist, and author residing in New York City. However, the true authors of this book are the Elders and other Native American individuals who are the source of each Nation's Traditional Knowledge and Oral Traditions. No one outside of these Native American Nations can claim authorship over any of this information. This writer sees herself only as a conduit of the material itself. Given the centuries of persecution that Native Americans have endured, it is a miracle in itself that any of this information has survived. It is a testament to the determined resilience of the keepers of this Sacred Knowledge that we have access to it at all. They are the ones responsible for keeping their Traditions, spirituality, beliefs, and practices alive and flourishing, to the benefit of their People and to the non-Native population who long to learn more.
