Welcome to Ed McGaa’s page. Ed McGaa was first featured on Native Digest back in November 2009. I became interested and intrigued speaking with Ed after reading some of his books. Ed is a source of tradition and experiences. He brings with him a source of honor, knowledge and insight that is priceless. It is an honor to give Ed a home here at Native Digest.
