Author Biography

David Seven Deers, born in 1957 in Vancouver, Canada, works as an artistic consultant on numerous international cultural projects. In Germany, he is certainly best known for his totem pole standing in front of the Museum of Ethnology in Hamburg (a present of his tribe to the city). David Seven Deers lives with his wife Sanna - also an author published by Merlin, together with their children on a ranch in the mountains of British Columbia. His children’s books Heelah’s Dream and Potlatch are published by Little Tiger Verlag, the sister company of Merlin Verlag. In the autumn 2014, the Franco-German TV channel ARTE broadcasted a much-noticed film portrait of the family Seven Deers.
