About Elizabeth Cook-Lynn

  • Elizabeth Cook-Lynn (born "Elizabeth Irving" in 1930 at Government Hospital) is an editor, essayist, poet, novelist, and member of the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe.
  • She is considered to be outspoken in her views about Native American politics, particularly in regards to tribal sovereignty.
  • For instance, she has often been quite critical of authors putting forth tenuous claims to Native/Indigenous ancestry with the purpose of advancing their own careers, and has reflected on the negative implications that these "tribeless" authors have, not only on Native Studies as a discipline, but also in the development of economic and social life of Native nations.[1]
