About the author
Nancy Red Star is the author of two books from Bear & Company centered on Native American traditions of extraterrestrial contact. "Star Ancestors: Extraterrestrial Contact in the Native American Tradition" gathers interviews with tribal spiritual leaders, including figures such as Dawnland founder Dana Pictou, Mayan daykeeper Hunbatz Men, and Choctaw wisdomkeeper Sequoyah Trueblood, to document long-standing accounts of contact with sky visitors. Its follow-up, "Legends of the Star Ancestors: Stories of Extraterrestrial Contact from Wisdomkeepers Around the World" (2002), widens the scope beyond Native American sources to include Australian Aboriginal, Japanese, Celtic, and Israeli spiritual leaders, framing their stories alongside earth-change prophecies attributed to the Star Ancestors. Both books present themselves as oral-history collections rather than personal narrative or analysis, compiling firsthand testimony from indigenous and international wisdomkeepers. They are aimed at readers interested in indigenous cosmology and ufology as intersecting traditions.
