Much like his contemporary, Alexander Lawrence Posey, Bertrand N.O. Walker was an exceptional literary voice in the early nineteenth century. Writing under his Wyandotte name, Hen-Toh, Walker would produce just two books in his lifetime, both of which would become important landmarks of Native American dialect literature.

Autorenporträt
Bertrand N.O. Walker, better known by his Wyandotte name Hen-Toh (1870 - 1927) was a Native American author and poet. Born in Kansas City, Kansas, Walker was a member of the Oklahoma band of the Big Turtle Clan and received his education from a Friends' Mission School. Walker spent the entirety of his life working in the Indian Service, spending his early years as a teacher and clerk and his latter years focused on his writing and family. Though his literary output was limited to a volume of poetry, Yon-Doo-Shah-We-Ah (Nubbins) and book of Native folklore, Tales of the Bark Lodges (1924), Walker's contributions to the preservation of Wyandotte culture have been appreciated by generations of researchers and readers alike.
