Yazar: Hen-Toh

Bertrand N.O. Walker, better known by his Wyandotte name Hen-Toh (1870 – 1927) was a Native American author and poet. Born in Kansas City, Kansas, Walker was a member of the Oklahoma band of the Big Turtle Clan and received his education from a Friends’ Mission School. Walker spent the entirety of his life working in the Indian Service, spending his early years as a teacher and clerk and his latter years focused on his writing and family. Though his literary output was limited to a volume of poetry, Yon-Doo-Shah-We-Ah (Nubbins) and book of Native folklore, Tales of the Bark Lodges (1924), Walker’s contributions to the preservation of Wyandotte culture have been appreciated by generations of researchers and readers alike.
