- Austen currently works as a Peacemaker/Probation Officer at the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians Tribal Justice Center and as an artist, painting murals, like the well known piece at the entrance of the Willows restaurant at the Little River Casino and Resort. He creates many different traditional native crafts and various other forms of visual art. His work was used by the National Congress of the American Indian for the N.C.A.I. conference logo in 2011 and the original hangs at their embassy in Washington D.C.
- Love Unlimited is more than an event: it is also an online community where strangers worldwide can become friends. One of the ways that we do that is by asking (not requiring) every new member to look at the profile pages of 5 'strangers' and click on 'Add as Friend' to add them as a friend. Are you willing to add five strangers as your friends? If yes, visit "www.LoveAndDiversity.org and click on "member enrollment" under the member tab to sign up.
- Austen is a long time musician and has performed regularly since he started playing music over twenty eight years ago. Austen plays many different styles of music on acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, banjo, bass guitar, lap steel and slide blues. He plays the Native American flute and sings with a traditional Odawa drum group in Manistee, Michigan. He recently scored the soundtrack for an educational sturgeon documentary that was filmed locally, spotlighting the L.R.B.O.I. sturgeon rearing program. He has numerous CD’s of different styles of original music, most of it available online.
- Love Unlimited Film Festival and Art Exhibition is where strangers worldwide use love and kindness to become friends. One of the ways that we do that is by asking (not requiring) every new member to look at the profile pages of 5 'strangers' and add a comment to their profile that simply makes a kind comment about something on their profile. Are you willing to add kind comments onto the profile pages of five strangers... soon to be friends?
- Austen is a tribal member of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians. He hunts and fishes as an expression of tribal sovereignty and to feed his family, physically and spiritually. In 2011 he was the first L.R.B.O.I. tribal member in recent recorded history to harvest a lake sturgeon, caught on hook and line, weighing 108 lbs. and measuring 6 ft. 1 in. In 2009 he was gifted with an 8 pt. bull elk. At 17 yrs. old, he brought home a 350 lb. black bear. He shares these special gifts with elders and other tribal members whenever possible. For Austen, hunting provides a direct connection to nature, builds deep reverence and respect, and ties him directly to the web of life. He is an advocate of spiritual unity among all of earth’s peoples and seeks to focus on our similarities as brothers and sisters, rather than arbitrary and divisive differences, hoping for acceptance and sharing as we evolve together in our collective world consciousness, as human beings.
Austen is married to his beautiful love, and best friend, his wife Victoria.

Dec. 2012 Love Festival Script Reading
Just arrived in town for the live reading tomorrow at the Norris Center. My daughter Samara is reading with me this year. We are reading an 11 minute section of my latest comedy screenplay called Tornadic Activity. It should be fun and funny. Looking forward to the awards ceremony too. Had a lot of fun reading Best Horror Screenplay, Homunculus at the Beyond Baroque. This is a nice break from working on preproduction of White Buffalo which should start filming Sept of 2013. See everyone…
