Synopsis:

From The author, kent nerburn :

Both a gift book and a solid introduction to Indian thought

This slim volume is not accidental in its choices. Though it may look like simply a gift book -- and it surely serves that purpose well -- it was written with a much more serious intention. It was compiled and written while I was working on the Red Lake Ojibwe reservation. I wanted the Indian students to have a simple, clear work which gave them the philosophical underpinnings of Indian thought in a way that would serve as a source for meditation and inspiration as they thought about their own lives.

Reviews:

Early Native Americans had such pure thoughts about life...	5/5/1998
Reviewer: A reader from USA
This compilation of Native American sayings is appropriately called wisdom. Full of the logic and simple things that they lived and strived for. And how they were trying to understand the newcomers to their land...they could not believe that there were others in the world that were so violent, immoral, dishonest and treacherous...after reading what they have to say, it is not hard to see where their bitterness comes from. Some very well chosen statements from wise Native Americans.
