WELCOME

Sge:no’ and welcome to my website! My name is Odadrihonyanisoh, and also, Sara General. I belong to the Turtle Clan and the Mohawk Nation and I live in the community of Six Nations of the Grand River on Turtle Island.

I primarily write MG and YA speculative fiction (science fiction and fantasy), inspired by themes and events in Haudenosaunee history. I've also published a collection of short stories and essays in my book Spirit & Intent. You can find my published work here:  http://www.sarageneral.com/books/

I'm an artist and a language learner, and am currently working on a series of comics and children's books written in the Cayuga language to guide my learning. I’ve shared some of my art here on the site: www.sarageneral.com/art/  but my newest work and art portfolio is located here: https://www.iokaraskats.com. The language books can be found at: www.spiritandintent.com.

My research interests include Haudenosaunee cultural stories, Indigenous educational leadership and Indigenous language revitalization, and I work in the area of Indigenous education and policy. I also like to play the piano and make art, and from time to time, I post snippets of my paintings in progress on my YouTube Channel.

You can reach me by email at sara@sarageneral.com. Nya:węh for taking the time to look around!
