This is a very respectful and well written book about some of the First Nation peoples of North American continent. The positive and life affirming ceremonies described along with the history of the people involved in them are relevant to today. Simple exercises and practices are discussed and the reader is encouraged to live in a positive manner with the Earth throughout this book. My favorite part was about the Chippewa who lived near where I grew up. I knew little about them but after reading this I had an understanding of some of their history and lives.
Excellent and respectful to the peoples it brings forward. This is a good book.
