Items related to No Word for Time: The Way of the Algonquin People
Synopsis
A descendant of the Algonquins explores a rapidly disappearing world in which there is no word for time and life moves with the rhythms of nature - the world of the Algonquin Indians. One of the largest and most diverse language groups in the world, the nations and tribes which are related under the title "Algonquin" once occupied most of the northeastern United States, from the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean, and great portions of southern Canada. Their influence on the culture and history of North America has been immense. Here we share this world and experience with the author a sweat lodge, vision quest, ceremonial dances and the wise teachings of Algonquin elders. Pritchard also points out the remarkable parallels between Algonquin beliefs and those of better-known religions, Taoism, Buddhism, Judaism, and Christianity.

Synopsis
A descendant of a Micmac chief, the author presents a book on Native American spirituality. Outlining the "Seven Points of Respect" for Native American ceremonies, he goes on to describe their way of life: "They don't write in metaphor, they speak it; they don't recite poetry, they live it".
