Biography

Odin Black Bear is an aspiring author writing from the places that shaped him, family, land, culture, hard lessons, grief, humor, survival, and community. His work is rooted in the belief that healing is not one straight road. It is carried through stories, relationships, memory, movement, rest, laughter, responsibility, and the quiet moments when people finally tell the truth about what they are holding. He writes for Native and non-Native readers who are working through grief, stress, burnout, identity, family change, trauma, and the everyday weight people often carry in silence. Odin’s voice is grounded, direct, and human. He does not write to sound perfect. He writes to make space for honesty. His work honors Native values, land connection, elders, family, community care, and the people who came before us, while staying open to readers from every background. Outside of writing, Odin is drawn to nature, dogs, strength, quiet mornings, creative projects, and building a life that feels peaceful and meaningful. His books and workbooks are created for people who need reflection, practical tools, and words that feel real. His guiding belief is simple healing is a path, not a destination.
