Biographical History
Jamake Highwater (b. ca. 1930) was the director and choreographer for the San Francisco Contemporary Dancers from 1954 to 1967, and a rock music journalist and travel writer from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s. Since ca. 1975, he has been primarily a lecturer and an author of fiction and non-fiction, dealing mostly with Native American arts and culture, and with myth and ritual in general. In 1984 he established the Native Land Foundation to promote world folk art and its influence on the visual and performing arts, and then created a conference site and resource library, the Native Land Research Center near Hampton, Conn.
