About Jack Gladstone
A grandson of Blackfeet Indian chief Red Crow, Gladstone guides us through myths, animal legends and character portraits into a better understanding of our Native American heritage. Jack touches the hearts of his audiences with his enlightening narrative and thought-provoking songs about the adventures, triumphs and tragedies of Native America.
From timeless Blackfeet stories passed from his grandmother, Gladstone recollects mythic Creation and the role the animals played in traditional American Indian culture. His presentation includes segments on the wolf, bear, buffalo and the horse. The show also honors the Navajo Code Talkers of World War II and other notable Indian figures whose vision inspired their peoples and established a legacy of honor for all Americans.
