Jim Kristofic, author of "Navajos Wear Nikes," visits Write-On! Four Corners this week to talk about the novel he co-authored with ceremonial runner Edison Eskeets, "Send a Runner: A Navajo Honors the Long Walk." Kristofic gives listeners a glimpse into his collaboration with Eskeets, who was unfortunately ill and unable to attend the interview, and how he blended extensive research on the Long Walk to help readers better understand the meaning and purpose behind Eskeets' run along the trail of the Long Walk. "Send a Runner" is the 2022 "One Book, One Community" selection.
