Synopsis

Combining both historical and present day perspectives, Native North America provides a far ranging and richly illustrated account of the spiritual traditions of the indigenous peoples of North America, from the Inuit of the Canadian north to the Pueblo of the Arizona desert. The text explores individual culture areas by region, in such forms as personal and communal ritual, rites and ceremonies, identity and dispossession, myths and sacred histories. The depth of the writing combined with the high quality of esoteric colour images, maps, photographs and artwork, make this an important book to have in any reference section.
