Although not Native American himself, Turner started using native stories while stationed in East Texas to help school children develop an understanding of native lifeways,  history, and culture.

"I had the opportunity to learn many ancient and traditional stories from tribal storytellers while I served at Caddoan Mounds near Alto, Texas," said Turner.  "The stories themselves are very entertaining, and it's great fun to tell them."
