TIQ SLO'W is the ethnographic biography of a Native American Chief, Charlie Cooke, a man who by many counts could not exist. But here he is: a cowboy, a ranch hand, a rodeo champ, a Korean War veteran, a regular husband and father, and a truck driver. This is a story of ironies-of a man whose ancestral lands were taken and, in some cases, ravaged, and of a man whose culture was almost obliterated. It is the story of a man who worked tirelessly to preserve these ancestral lands for posterity-for his descendants and for the descendants of the very people who took lands from his forbearers. TIQ SLO'W, the name by which many know Charlie Cooke, tells of leadership among other Native Americans, anthropologists, civic leaders, and State and National Park management. The leadership and historic perspectives intertwine. Charlie's style is one of influence. With no positions of note or actual authority in many of the situations in which he found himself, he was and is highly effective and much admired. The story takes place in the mountains along the Southern California coastline and on the serene Channel Islands not too far off the coast. Today this area glitters with the wealthy, the movie stars, the tanned beach crowd, and the daring surfers slapping the world-renowned Malibu waves. They, too, enter the story.

Crossroads: The Louis Lugo Story is the true account of a young kid raised on the streets of New York's projects-the gangs and a lifestyle of crime would be his mentors into manhood. Follow Louis as he learns to be a hustler, a pusher, and evolves into a man to be afraid of. You will experience this gangster's struggles every step of the way as he gambles with his life for his piece of the American dream. Serving serious time for serious crimes will be the debt he will have to pay. Yet through it all, Louis knew there were some lines he would not and could not cross. God watched as Louis hit rock bottom and waited patiently for Louis to open his heart to Him. Through the support and encouragement of his wife and his love for his children, Louis applied the skills he learned on the streets to his work as a mentor to those who are still where he once was.
