As a U.S. Army veteran, Gray Eagle performs frequently for veterans events.

I met Albert Gray Eagle at Red Earth in Oklahoma a few years ago. Leaving out some details for identity reasons on my part, he taught me how to make River Cane flutes, and taught me a lot about the origins of the instrument.

I told him that he really needs to write a book last year, but he said he doesn’t know quite how to organize everything. He’s a walking encyclopedia of information, knows the oral history, and so on. That only scratches the surface.  Anyway, I said the same thing to him this year, “Albert, you really need to write a book.” He told me the same thing, he needs help. I said, “Well, what if I thought I could find you an author, could I use your name and post your contact information?” “Yes,” he said.

So, please contact Albert Gray Eagle if you’re an author and are serious about documenting what he has to tell.
