Linda Hogan

Linda K. Hogan (born 1947 in Denver) is a Native American poet, storyteller, academic, playwright, novelist, environmentalist, and writer of short stories. She is currently the Chickasaw Nation's Writer in Residence.

Linda Hogan is of Chickasaw descent. Her father is a Chickasaw from a recognized historical family, and Linda's uncle, Wesley Henderson, played a significant role in forming the White Buffalo Council in Denver during the 1950s. The council was established to assist other Indian people migrating to the city due to The Relocation Act, which encouraged migration for work and other opportunities. Wesley Henderson's influence was profound on her, and she grew up with strong ties to her Chickasaw family in Indian Territory (Oklahoma) and to a mixed Indian community in the Denver area.
