" Richard Erdoes, who has worked with American Indian people for thirty years--and whose Lame Deer: Seeker of Visions is a modern masterpiece--has made a new and vital contribution to our understanding of the first Americans."

" This powerful collection of prose and full-color photographs offers an intimate glimpse of Native American life."

" This sensitive and unique book provides an intimate glimpse of Native American spirituality, one in which Indians speak for themselves about their lives and rituals."

" Erdoes' contributions have been so valuable because Erdoes is unique in this field.? He filters his perceptions of American Indian spirituality through an intellect which is fundamentally European."
