Thank you for joining us on the High Plains Public Radio Station. My name is Jessica Sadler and I am a Science Teacher and STEAM facilitator in Olathe, Kansas. I am here with the other book leaders to discuss Neither Wolf Nor Dog: On Forgotten Roads with an Indian Elder by Kent Nerburn. This is a powerful story written by a white man, with the content supplied by a Native Elder. Their journey takes place by traveling to many different locations enlightening the author and reader along the way.

Hi, I’m Valerie a radio reader from Topeka and I’m in the middle of reading Neither Wolf Nor Dog: On Forgotten Roads by an Indian Elder by Kent Nerburn. This book is part of HPPR’s radio readers book club with the theme cultures in common.
I’m only on chapter 5 and there is so much to talk about in this book, but one thing that sticks out to me most recently is the author’s new-found love and appreciation of the prairie. As a native Kansan it warms my heart to hear the land described as something as other than flat or fly-over country. So, to read phrases like, “the hypnotic power of the land” and “the billowing, waving prairie grasses were symphonic in their ebbs and swells,” makes me happy (31).
