This book describes how Chautauqua has been communicated within the continued evolution of the Ohio Valley Sandusky Indian diaspora. As such, Jim Schnell substantiates how being born and raised within his maternal Sandusky Indian heritage has enriched his Native American roots. Thus drawing from previous Sandusky Indian generations and inspiring future generations--including his son, Brian (as illustration). This illustrates how continued emphasis on indoctrination of youth, with regard to the Sandusky Indian heritage, serves to instill and reinforce Native American pride and affiliation.
