John Christian Hopkins (July 6,1960) is a Narragansett journalist, author, poet and public speaker who resides in Tuba City, Arizona, United States.
[5] Hopkins is one of very few Narragansett writers, and one of very few opinion columnists from any tribe at the time his career began, as noted in Sage's Encyclopedia of Journalism [6] (p. 320).
Hopkins's long love of westerns is apparent in Nacogdoches, which follows “The Rango Kid,” as he impersonates a sheriff and finds himself forced to stand up to a criminal.
In Twilight of the Gods, Hopkins explores the science fiction genre by writing about the supernatural coming to life, based on the Mayan calendar's predictions.
The tribute is excerpted in Michael Ward's 2006 book, Ellison Tarzan Brown: The Narragansett Indian Who Twice Won the Boston Marathon.
