Larry Jent is a Cherokee storyteller, Methodist pastor and musician living outside Elkins, West Virginia. After readings about the stars and owls in Cherokee mythology we hear of the role of the The Creator, demi-god like figures such as Selu [Corn] and her husband Kana'ti [The Lucky Hunter], and animals in general. From religion and mythology to fascinating mysteries of archaeology and history we get into Native American copper mining both in North Carolina & The Great Lakes; the Chief Joseph stone/cuneiform tablet; Celtic legends and strange petroglyphs in West Virginia; Roman anecdotes and other documentary evidence of Native Americans discovering Europe before Columbus set sail in 1492. Circling back to Cherokee lore, Larry shares two personal numinous stories about spirit birds - an owl and an eagle - arriving as messengers around the death of loved ones.
