Author Bio

Author and international speaker Celia M. Gunn spent eighteen years studying Native American lore while living in British Columbia. For six years, she and her three children were closely involved with the rebirth of a Native American tribe, the Sinixt Nation in British Columbia, who had been declared extinct by the Canadian government. This shamanic journey inspired her memoir A Twist in Coyote's Tale, which has been adapted into a film entitled The Sinixt: Bringing Home the Bones. Now based in the West Country of the UK, Celia works with her husband on revitalizing our connection with the land, the ancestors, and "creatures other than human."
