Synopsis

The Wisdom of Native Americans presents in one volume the philosophies and insights of Ohiyesa (Charles Alexander Eastman), Chief Red Jacket, Chief Seattle, and more than two dozen others, speaking across the boundaries of culture and time on such ageless topics as love, death, education, family, leader, government and faith. This inspiring collection of philosophical and spiritual contributions draws from the Native Americans' extensive oratory tradition, recorded observations of life and social affairs, and other first-person testimonies, providing a poignant look at men and women who, despite untold hards and numerous setbacks, held fast to their beliefs. With historical and biographical notes, The Wisdom of the Native Americans is a timeless resource for anyone searching for models of strength, perseverance, and uncompromising character.
