A forgotten Haudenosaunee social song beams into the cosmos like a homing beacon for interstellar visitors.
Infused with Native stories and variously mysterious, magical and humorous, Take Us to Your Chief is the perfect mesh of nostalgically 1950s-esque science fiction with modern First Nations discourse.

The nine stories in this collection span all traditional topics of science fiction--from peaceful aliens to hostile invaders; from space travel to time travel; from government conspiracies to connections across generations.

Drawing inspiration from science fiction legends like Arthur C.
A young Native man discovers the secret to time travel in ancient petroglyphs.
A computer learns to feel sadness and grief from the history of atrocities committed against First Nations.
