Andie adams wer ist das

Andy Adams, author, was born on May 3, 1859, in Whitley County, Indiana, to Andrew and Elizabeth (Elliott) Adams, who belonged to a cultured pioneer Scots-Irish family. He became one of the few writers of the West who had a knowledge based on experience that enabled him to record cowboy life authentically. From early youth he helped his two brothers with cattle and horses on their father's farm. After attending a rural elementary school for a few years, he left home and worked for a year at a lumbermill in Arkansas. Adams traveled to Texas in the early 1880s and remained there for ten years, eight of which he spent in traildriving. He had become a foreman before he left the trail in 1890. After that he remained in Texas two more years, during which he was a partner in an unsuccessful mercantile venture in Rockport. In 1892 he drifted to gold-mining camps in Colorado and Nevada and in 1894 moved to Colorado Springs, where he lived until his death, with the exception of one year in Nevada (1908–09) and two years in Kentucky (1920–22). Adams was forty-three when he began writing. After his first book was published in 1903, he ran unsuccessfully for sheriff of El Paso County, Colorado. He ran two more times but was never elected.

Texas was Adams's literary domain. He waited a score of years for the belated recognition that finally came when he was an old man, but he never relinquished a vital interest in the state as a literary source. His available published works comprise seven books and one article. Also, the copyright for a play, "Corporal Segundo, A Pastoral in Three Parts," was issued in 1898, but no copy has been found. While he lived in Colorado, Adams wrote dozens of manuscripts-novels, dramas, short stories, and lectures-that were never published. Because he knew the real West, he was able to write with a remarkable verisimilitude-a quality he maintained without compromise, though it led to many rejected manuscripts, since publishers seemed to demand "Wild West" stories. In spite of his admitted limitations of style, he was an honest interpreter of western culture. In later years he took great interest in sponsoring authentic western fiction among younger writers. The Log of a Cowboy, Adams's best work, was published in 1903. It tells of a five-month drive of over 3,000 cattle from Brownsville to Montana in 1882 and has been called the best chronicle written of the great days in the cattle country. Other books followed: A Texas Matchmaker (1904), The Outlet (1905), Cattle Brands (1906), Reed Anthony, Cowman (1907), Wells Brothers (1911), and The Ranch on the Beaver (1927). Five of the books were sold in England by London publishers. The books and an article, "Western Interpreters," in the Southwest Review (October 1924), make up the available works published over Andy Adams's name.

Adams, a large man of strong physique, enjoyed good health until his last year. He was bachelor by choice who lived quietly and simply and was reticent about himself. He died on September 26, 1935, and was buried in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Andy (she/her/hers) grew up in Eyota, Minnesota. She previously taught at Nawayee Center school and worked on contracts with Bdote Learning Center. She received her undergraduate at the Urban Teacher Program at Metro State University. There, she began to learn about the discrepancies between education in white and non-white communities, and changed her perspective as a person on how white supremacy interacts with education.

Andy also received her Masters from St. Mary’s University with three focuses: Educational Leadership, Kinship Anthropology, and Marriage and Family Therapy. Much of her research focused on where anthropologists pinpoint where the relational structure of monogamy started. 

Andy is excited to serve as the Education Program Manager for NĀTIFS. Being a support person for helping the Indigenous community build out non-colonial educational programs is a huge personal value of hers. She loves curriculum writing, and is passionate about developing  robust and imaginative programming. Andy especially looks forward to being able to work in education outside of the rigid boundaries and structure required by the Minnesota Department of Education

Outside of work Andy is a non-monogamy educator and a member of the queer community. She is also a mom. She loves to walk in Wakan Tipi (Bruce Vento Nature Center) every day and rollerblade around St. Paul. Community and bringing people together is a big passion of hers, so she spends a lot of her energy hosting community gatherings and creating support groups, educational opportunities, and social opportunities for local non monogamous and queer identifying people.
