"Look behind you. See your sons and your daughters. They are your future. Look farther, and see your sons’ and your daughters’ children, and their childrens’children, even unto the Seventh Generation. That’s the way we were taught." —Leon Shenandoah (1915-1996) Leader of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy

Thank you, and heartfelt appreciation to our readers, to our contributors, and to those who have been kind enough to follow us.
Our starting point, and our goal with River, Blood, And Corn is promoting community and strengthening cultures with storytelling, poetry, prose. And by supporting your community of choice in any way you choose to give back, so the the link continues from person to person, from one community to another, from one generation to the next. Included in our themes are the Elders whose lives inform, instruct, shape and change ours. A variety of writers, age groups, ethnicities, communities and view points are presented here. We thank you for your voice widening the circle.
We have stories / as old as the great seas / breaking through the chest / flying out the mouth, / noisy tongues that once were silenced, /all the oceans we contain / coming to light. ---Linda Hogan
