Summary: it's an experience,a journey,words cannot describe this book
Review: I have recommended this book to anyone I know that is on a path of awakening and can hear the words with their heart. I have given this book as gifts numerous times, but I cannot find it anymore which saddens me. I would love to turn the world on to this book as it so beautifully depicts our Native Americans - OUR indigenous people. This book does justice to Native Americans which they so very much deserve. Thank you to Steve Wall and Harvey Arden - you have touched my life with this richly textured and moving piece. No words can express the power behind the span of the eagle's wings, the depth of wisdom of a redwood forest or the joy inside to which this book has brought me. My hope is that this book only continues to educate and enlighten us about the Native American culture - tribe after tribe, generation after generation.

Summary: Into the world that so few get to experience.
Review: The book is so well done, but the talking book is far better. You enter the jounery with them. You hear the wisdom of the spirtiually elders and long with the creaking of the doors and beatiful pow-wow/drumming in the background. You get a great opportunity to hear the calling of the eagle out of the sky at wounded knee that was prayered out of the sky by Frank Fools Crow. The best part that makes me laugh is when Steve Wall and Harvey Arden go and see one of the elders. Steve doesn't have a chance to go into his spell when the elder tells them I know why you are here you lost your orginial instructations. Also when they go and see charlie Knight and he asks them each time when Ya Leavein.

Summary: Should be required reading
Review: This is a book of incredible beauty - linguistically, visually, and spiritually. In an era which seems to skew more and more to the material and superficial, the Wisdomkeepers who are interviewed bring life and its challenges to the level of essence. Although I have walked in the daily company of Native Americans for more than fifty years, my understanding of the nobility of heritage and centered life grew immeasurably with the reading of every page. Anyone who passes this one up will be the lesser for doing so.
