About the Author

Karen Panton WalkingEagle is dedicated to public service. After teaching history, geography, government, and economics for several years, she left the classroom to enter the field of education research and program evaluation, where she wrote extensively on the effects of various initiatives and policies on students, particularly those living in communities that are economically disadvantaged. As an attorney, she now works to protect the legal rights of students with disabilities in schools, colleges, and universities.

WalkingEagle has also engaged in diverse volunteer activities. She has shared her Christian faith and biblical knowledge and insights with female inmates in a local jail, teenagers at summer camp, and participants in various Bible study classes. More recently, she founded a nonprofit organization that promotes academic, professional, and personal success among Native American students from a rural community in Montana.

Bless is WalkingEagle's first book.
