Take us to Your Chief and Other Stories: Forward

In Drew Hayden Taylor's Take us to Your Chief and Other Stories, he begins with a forward letting us know why he chose to write this book. He talks about his culture and the fact that he is half Ojibway. He understands that his culture is special and that makes him different. He also admits that Native people although they are resourceful in many ways, they are not as technologically advanced as other cultures. One of his great fascinations happens to be the world of sci-fi. His first encounter with sci-fi was through comic books. The work of H.G. Wells opened the world of other sci-fi writers. He explains that through sci-fi literature, as a writer, he gets to write about a world full of possibilities that includes topics of aliens and technology. Through this book he brings together his Native culture with the sci-fi culture.
