Synopsis

The Native American Medicine Wheel is a philosophy that addresses the four elements of the human condition and helps the individual create and find balance that ensures healthy recovery from the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual struggles we encounter in an oftentimes confusing and hostile world. The book has numerous spiritual quotes in the Seneca tribal language of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) people. The full color photos of the animals that depict the cardinal directions, the moons, and the various insightful gifts one receives from following this spiritual, logical, and philosophical path, are vibrant and alive. The love of her traditions and dedication of the author is evident on every page and in every word.

About this title

About the Author

Jamie Terra Hawk, a.k.a. Ush'ka Waso'(meaning many paths/many spirits) is a Native American woman and a retired professional in mental health, substance abuse, domestic violence, and is a non-denominational ordained minister. She is considered a "two-spirit" person in tribal communities and explains this concept in great detail. Watch for her upcoming supplement to this book "Readings from the Medicine Moons", a fun exploration into Native American lunar astrology that describes certain characteristics and totem objects according to the moon date of ones' birth. She is also about to publish her autobiography explaining, from a very intimate and personal view, the concepts of stigma, stereotypes, sexism and bigotry. Watch for her upcoming book "The Frog on the Wall"; a painfully honest, frank expose' of her life and a true champion example of victory over adversity, who has not only survived, but thrived.
