Harvey Arden
Noble Human
Sept. 25, 1935 - Nov. 17, 2018 There is a lot of life that occurred between the two dates above. I'm going to do my best to be able to give you the most in depth look into the life, writings, and adventures of "The World's Most Famous Unknown Author," as Harvey used to introduce himself. Harvey was a staff writer for National Geographic for 23 years. He also co-wrote a Best Seller (Wisdomkeepers) and was the author, co-author and editor of nearly a dozen other books. He created 3 Spoken Word CDs, which have been nominate - and won - Native American Music Awards. He has left a treasure chest of material for us to dive into.
There are hundreds (thousands?) of stories, adventures, cherished memories, wonderful photographs, videos, and writings that we are attempting to compile and share with the world. For those that knew Harvey Arden, personally, you are a lucky and blessed group and you are well aware of his many gifts and talents that he shared with us all. For those that did not know him, this living memoir and website will hopefully give you a glimpse of Harvey and the echoing imprint he left upon those that crossed paths with him, in person or through his words. Harvey was a loving husband and father, a generous friend, an incredible writer, a spiritual warrior of sorts, a BridgeKeeper between cultures, and above all, a damn fine human being! We hope you keep coming back to see this site grow and to experience the life of Harvey Arden, as best we can represent it. His loving friend forever, ~George Bowe Blitch |
Harvey Arden shares the story of how he got involved in a project with Steve Wall, at National Geographic, that later become the subject(s) of their best selling book, Wisdomkeepers. A man names "Two Trees" whisked them into an adventure down the Red Road and then steps aside and lets them find their own path in their '"Stone Canoe".
