About the Author

PETER RAZOR is an enrolled member of the Fond du Lac Band of Ojibwa and great-grandson of Mrs. Frank Razer of the White Earth Reservation, whose famous beadwork was studied by Frances Densmore in Chippewa Customs (Minnesota Historical Society Press). As an adult, Razor researched his past and his culture and began dancing in powwows and learning to make traditional garments. In recent years he has received acclaim for his instrument-making, including hand drums, rattles, and jingles, thus returning to the ways of his grandmother. While the Locust Slept is his first book.
