I’d like to give a special thanks to author Tommie Townsley for recognizing and keeping the name of the Atakapa-people alive through her latest book. Her book titled “Sampson The Spirited Horse,” features an Atakapa-Ishak woman. The positive tale focuses on the special gifts that each of us have within us. Not only does she dedicate the book to us and our people, but she also features Atakapa history. What an awesome way to keep the spirit of our ancestors alive and to spread cultural teachings about our tribe to children everywhere. If you get the chance, please support Ms. Townsley by purchasing a book for the children in your family or sending her a commendation on a job well done.
