They Call Me Eddie Morrison: Cherokee National Treasure

By Bill Keith

Eddie Morrison is perhaps the best-known living Native American sculptor. Morrison's pieces embody the best of Cherokee tradition by combining the heart, spirituality, and philosophy of his culture. His work is displayed in galleries all across the U.S., in private collections, and in several foreign countries.

This lushly illustrated work is not just a compendium of Morrison's art: it is the story of a humble man with a deep passion for his heritage and a drive to ensure a thriving future for his people. With more than one hundred images of Morrison's works and a foreword by Bill John Baker, this volume is a beautiful and invaluable resource.

Bill Keith earned his degree in journalism from Wheaton College and his master's from the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He was a war correspondent in Vietnam and, writing for the Shreveport (LA) Times, was part of a team nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. A former Louisiana State senator, Keith proudly explores his Cherokee heritage.

Bill John Baker is the Principal Chief of the Cherokee Indian Nation. He previously served for 12 years on the Cherokee Tribal Council. Chief Baker has made the preservation and promotion of the Cherokee language a priority, and is noted for his expansion of the Cherokee Nation's healthcare and housing programs.
