A prolific author in a wide variety of genres, he has published more than 100 books over a decades-long career<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI remember writing poems in second grade and my teacher reading them aloud in class and the other kids being very jealous; actually, I got beat up by a couple of the bigger kids,\u201d Joseph Bruchac \u201964, BA \u201965, admits, then adds with a laugh: \u201cAs I always say, that was my first experience with hostile literary critics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than seven decades later, Bruchac is still writing<\/a>\u2014and he has become a highly prolific author in a dizzying variety of genres. He still pens poetry, but also science fiction, fantasy, mystery, historical fiction, nonfiction, children\u2019s books, young adult (YA) novels, plays, short stories, and more.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A member of the Abenaki tribe (whose population is primarily located in New England and southeast Canada), Bruchac often explores Native American themes\u2014such as in Code Talker<\/em><\/a>, his 2005 novel about Navajos serving in the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II that Time<\/em> included on its list of the 100 best YA books of all time, putting it in such august company as Little Women<\/em> and The Catcher in the Rye<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been a prolific reader ever since I can remember; I read very early, and voluminously,\u201d says Bruchac, who\u2019s based in the Adirondacks and also performs traditional music and storytelling. \u201cAnd when you read a lot in many genres, it can inspire you to work in many genres as a writer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An English major and varsity heavyweight wrestler on the Hill, Bruchac earned a master\u2019s degree in literature and creative writing from Syracuse University and spent three years teaching in West Africa; he later earned a PhD in comparative literature from the Union Institute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He notes that when he was growing up, there was little in the way of mainstream literature by and about indigenous people, and \u201cnot a bit\u201d of the kind of books for kids and teens he now creates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cImages of American Indians tended to be negative,\u201d he says, \u201cor very stereotyped and romantic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Bruchac’s many young adult books include (from left) a “memoir” written in the voice of Olympic gold medalist Jim Thorpe; a tale set during the current pandemic; and a historical novel whose two protagonists are on opposite sides of the Red River War of 1874.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Abenaki\u2014who sided with the French during the French and Indian War\u2014have historically suffered from discrimination in the U.S., he says, including a notorious eugenics program in Vermont in the early 1900s for which the state didn\u2019t formally apologize<\/a> until 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople wouldn’t call attention to their Native ancestry; they kept a low profile and tried to blend in,\u201d Bruchac says of past generations. \u201cMy grandfather used to visit his relatives in Vermont, but never talked about being Native. He\u2019d tell everyone he was French Canadian.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As recently as the 1970s and \u201980s, Bruchac says, \u201cin identifying as Native and drawing attention to Native issues, I was very much out of the mainstream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, by contrast, he\u2019s a frequent invitee for author visits and storytelling performances at schools and elsewhere\u2014virtually or in person\u2014and one of his two sons runs the Abenaki immersion program at Middlebury College\u2019s renowned language institute. (Both brothers have also followed in their father\u2019s footsteps as authors and traditional storytellers.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love writing; I feel like I’m being taken on a journey. Sometimes, I honestly feel I’m taking dictation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Bruchac\u2019s dozens of published works include historical looks at Pocahontas, Sacajawea, Crazy Horse, and athlete Jim Thorpe; The Trail of Tears<\/em>, a children\u2019s book on the forced exodus of the Cherokee; middle-grade thrillers based on folklore, like Bearwalker<\/em> and Skeleton Man<\/em>; a post-apocalyptic YA novel, Killer of Enemies<\/em>, whose female protagonist is a teenage Apache monster-hunter; and a murder mystery series starring Jacob Neptune, an Abenaki private eye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI love writing; I feel like I’m being taken on a journey,\u201d says Bruchac, who won a lifetime achievement award from the Native Writers Circle of the Americas two decades ago. \u201cSometimes, I honestly feel I’m taking dictation. And I finish and I think, \u2018Did I just remember this from someone else?\u2019 But it’s always original.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The
Bruchac’s acclaimed YA novel Code Talker<\/em> recalls how the Navajo language was used to thwart the Nazis, while his children’s book My Father is Taller than a Tree<\/em> celebrates the bonds between dads and sons. Padoskoks<\/em>, one of his most recent releases, continues the adventures of an Abenaki detective.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Bruchac published several titles in 2021 alone\u2014including Padoskoks<\/em>, the second Jacob Neptune mystery. He also put out two middle-grade novels: Peacemaker<\/em>, about the founding of the Iroquois Confederacy, and Rez Dogs<\/em>, which follows an eighth grader staying on her grandparents\u2019 reservation during the COVID-19 lockdown. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(School Library Journal<\/em> calls the latter \u201ca contemporary novel in verse that deftly handles weighty issues and provides readers a story they can connect with during a pandemic, with a dose of hope for the future.\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’m always working on several projects at once. Right now I’m working on four different books; well, actually, five,\u201d Bruchac says, going on to tick them off: a nonfiction book about the 1969\u201371 occupation of Alcatraz by Native American activists; a collection of Haiku poems and photographs for young readers; a fantasy novel; a look at national parks by indigenous storytellers; and a collection of poems about famous Native Americans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh\u2014and he\u2019s also working on a sixth project, his third Jacob Neptune mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI try to write the same way I tell traditional stories,\u201d Bruchac observes. \u201cIt should be interesting; that way people will listen. But there should be something meaningful within it\u2014a message, an important thought. So that\u2019s what I believe is significant: to teach, and also to entertain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
