The Washington Post has an interesting blog post about Joseph Bruchac, the author of Native American young adult novels, including “Codetalker,” “Jim Thorpe, Original All-American,” and “March Toward the Thunder.”

Bruhac, who is Abenaki, also is a three-time varsity wrestling letter winner at heavyweight for Cornell University. And he’s a participant in Project Letters, a federal program to promote Literacy Education and Teacher Training for Excellent Reservation Schools (LETTERS).

It’s a good post, both about Bruhac and about the project – and about wrestling and martial arts, too. Check it out, and also find out more about Bruhac on his website, JosephBruhac.com,
