Calvin Helin
Author
We discovered the perfect author to exemplify our mission in Calvin Helin. Drawing lessons of success from his native history; Helin delivers a message of self-reliance as a way out of poverty, undeterred and unafraid of being politically incorrect. Therefore, it is befitting to launch our new Ravencrest imprint with his Dances’ series.
By Calvin Helin
Calvin’s father and grandmother, both hereditary Tsimshian Nation Tribal Leaders, sent him on a quest when he was twelve years old with the sole purpose of making a difference – for the better – in the lives of those less fortunate. This quest, those many years ago, along with his advocacy work of self-reliance on behalf of indigenous nations led to Calvin’s desire to inspire and educate by writing the Dances’ series of books.
We are launching this exciting new series with Dances with Dependency, Out of Poverty through Self-Reliance, which will effectively assist the underprivileged of all nations to find their own path to happiness and wealth through self-reliance.

Dances with Dependency: Out of Poverty Through Self-Reliance
Dances with Dependency offers effective strategies to eliminate welfare dependency and help eradicate poverty among indigenous populations. Beginning with an impassioned and insightful portrait of today’s native communities, it connects the prevailing impoverishment and despair directly to a “dependency mindset” forged by welfare economics. To reframe this debilitating mindset, it advocates policy reform in conjunction with a return to native peoples’ ten-thousand-year tradition of self-reliance based on personal responsibility and cultural awareness.
The Empowerment Mindset: Success Through Self-Knowledge
The Empowerment Mindset takes readers on a powerful journey of self-discovery so that they can transform unfulfilled lives to reflect happiness, success, and genuine empowerment.
Helin notes that “if you don’t acquire the knowledge to improve your life, you will trap future generations of your family in the same cycle of disappointment.”
The Economic Dependency Trap: Breaking Free to Self-Reliance
This book offers effective strategies to help erase poverty. It advocates self-reliance, policy reform, and cultural awareness. Accountability is required from all: the middle class, the trust fund babies, and the underprivileged who see themselves as perpetual victims and have fallen into the entitlement trap. True blue prints are offered to rescue people from an economical slump and help them improve their lives, and re-obtain a sense of self-worth.

One proven measure for greater balance comes through reclaiming the spirit-infused views that ensured the survival of our ancestors for millennia.
