It is the harvest that feeds the body, laughter that heals the mind, and wisdom that feeds the soul.
Jobekah S. Trotta 1997

Jobekah has chronicled her research of both Native American; "California Indians Along the Natomon" and the pioneers in California; "Jamison Family", bringing the adventures and stories of heroism, challenges and humor with everyday details that lead you to another era of time.

Art and history museums, corporations, schools and universities have  hosted Jobekah as she lectures to classrooms and town halls.

A former eighth grade teacher who found that the arts had a stronger calling than a classroom and began writing to fulfill the need for a comprehensive multicultural curriculum, initiating the programs in the form of teachers workshops, storytelling and lectures.
I am delighted to pass the torch to those who are willing to take up the fire in the journey of life by lighting the way for others along the trail.

Jobekah's cable television program, aired in Northern California, has won consistent top awards for three consecutive years in "New and Innovative Programming for Children."
