  Linda is internationally known for her creativeness and for her commitment to keeping the traditions of the Native way alive.

  She gave birth to the story of "Mama Bear Baby Bear" through her own personal experience, which led to a magical, spiritual, journey that has become so much more than just one book, more than just one story for she believes that "We are all the connection in a full circle.
The Circle never ends."
