About Darren
Bonaparte
What about
Darren
Bonaparte? It’s all about the history, man! Who cares who
single-handedly researched, wrote, and published it? The
important thing is the story, not the storyteller. It’s
really of no consequence that I am a former radio DJ, newspaper editor,
cartoonist, public relations officer, museum coordinator, archival
researcher, and even Indian chief. What
matters is that our people’s story can be told! Let us not
waste
any time reflecting on the fact that I have been published by Indian Country Today, Native Americas,
Aboriginal Voices, and Winds
of Change. Does it really benefit anyone to know that I
have been a historical consultant for the PBS miniseries The War That Made America, Champlain: The
Lake Between, and The
Forgotten War: The Struggle for North America? And let’s
be honest: who cares that I had a three-second speaking part as a
Mohawk chief in the Discovery Channel documentary, First Nations: The Iroquois?
