Matthew "Maasaw" Howard’s two books, "Avonvdo Yona (Bear Spirit Mountain) An Ancestral Awakening" and most recently, "As I Rest, Let My Face Touch Heaven," are not traditional academic works...and this is what makes for their vitality and strength. As a Roman archaeologist and historian, I share a passion for understanding the past by unearthing and identifying long-buried or forgotten structures, monuments, artifacts, and man-made images. Matt’s books clearly demonstrate his respect for the rigor and discipline of archaeology with his methodical researching, cataloging, documenting, and preserving the stone monuments, artifacts, burials, and rock art imagery. Matt Howard is uniquely qualified and positioned to serve as the chosen Protector of this most sacred and ancient Native American burial and ceremonial site. I find Matt’s journey, as recorded in these books, is truly mesmerizing.

The archaeological site known as "Bear Spirit Mountain" is one of the most significant discoveries made in the field of American Indian history found to date. This site dates to the late Pleistocene period and is a tremendous source of archaeological study for ancient American Indian customs and traditions. The sheer size of the site that measures in miles instead of acres has makes it stand out as one of the largest sites ever discovered in the Americas.

For many years, the study of the indigenous stone monuments of the eastern U.S. has suffered from neglect on the part of professional archaeologists. It has fallen to dedicated and inspired amateur researchers like Matt Howard to document these enigmatic structures. With little formal training or equipment, Matt has provided a very significant contribution to the study of these monuments in his area, and he has drawn attention to their importance to the descendants of their creators, and to all of us as a matter of cultural heritage.

I commend his efforts, and I encourage him to continue to document this important cluster of sites.
