Sean2 Miles is an LA-based multi-genre producer, recording artist, and businessman. Born in Farmhaven, Mississippi, Miles moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to kick-start his music career.

An awakened interest in and determination to understand Native American history beyond what was taught in the classroom prompted Patricia Streng to write this book. Understanding that history is primarily written by the victor, she spent uncountable hours researching, travelling and writing to thoroughly research centuries-old historical documents which prove the racism and genocide against Native Americans from the beginning.

Her passion unfolds as she tells a story of their strength and resilience as they fight to regain what is rightfully theirs – from treaties to equal rights and opportunities. By writing the book, she hopes to encourage others to join in supporting Native Americans as they fight for justice and equality. Their cause is that of racial equity and has no geographical or ideological boundaries, and it is the author’s desire that this book will help make a positive difference in the lives, not only of Native Americans but of all people who have been victims of racism.

In “Native American Resilience: A Story of Racism, Genocide and Survival” has two parts. The first focuses on the Cherokee People – their struggles and survival. Cherokee culture is highlighted, including their oral traditions from the earliest times to the confrontation between peoples when the New World was discovered. Trade and treaties played important roles from the early 1600s, with several significant Cherokee leaders guiding their interaction with the Europeans. Starting in the 1700s, laws stipulated that Indian children be educated in the white man’s ways. Native religions, languages and cultures were outlawed, with these basic rights only restored in 1990. For example, one of the chapters, Divergent Views on Removal, focuses on the period from the early 1800s until Congress passed a law in 1872 declaring there would be no more treaties. The story of Cherokee removal to Indian Territory, their involvement in the American Civil War and the period leading up to Oklahoma's statehood in 1907 follows.

In Part II, Native American life through modern times is explored, including issues Natives have within American society and with the government. Although there are treaties still in full force, unless changed by the specific Indian tribe and the U.S. government, many have been abrogated at the government’s convenience, resulting in numerous lawsuits with some significant settlements in money and rights for the Indian people. The government has admitted that terms of treaties have not been upheld and that over the centuries documents were lost or destroyed. Some tribes and/or their languages and cultures have ceased to exist. Yet Native Americans, the First Americans, continue their fight to gain justice for what has been done to them and what has been taken away from them – equality and respect.

In 2014, Zac King began volunteering at a haunted attraction, Bizarro's Factory of Fear(Bizarro's Haunt), taking on the lead role of Pigman. He worked his way to becoming a manager in 2016, earning us the title of one of Ontario's scariest haunted attractions. Throughout the years working for the attraction he suffered from chronic pain, physical disability, mental health issues and drug addiction. He was able to overcome some of them but is still dealing with some to this day.

In 2019 when the attraction was being sold, Zac purchased it and continued to provide a spooky experience, changing the name to The Factory of Fear. However, in 2020 the attraction was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, leaving him to have to rethink his life.

Since Zac was young, he loved film and storytelling and so he pivoted from live entertainment to creating films! Currently, he uses his knowledge of creating an atmosphere and psychology of the scare to craft effective films that he shares online.
