Dallas Hunt je učiteľ a spisovateľ, ktorý je členom komunity Wapisewsipi (Swan River First Nation) z územia Treaty 8 v severnej Alberte v Kanade. Ako zástanca revitalizácie jazykov chcel, aby jeho debutová kniha pre deti obsahovala slová v jazyku Cree. Jeho tvorba často skúma témy spojené s jazykom a kultúrnou identitou. Huntov prístup je osobný a zároveň prekračuje hranice, aby zdieľal bohatstvo svojho dedičstva.
