About this listen

The teachings of the Native Americans provide a connection with the land, the environment, and the simple beauties of life. This collection of writings from revered Native Americans offers timeless, meaningful lessons on living and learning.

Taken from writings, orations, and recorded observations of life, this audiobook selects the best of Native American wisdom and distills it to its essence in short, digestible quotes - perhaps even more timely now than when they were first written. In addition to the short passages, this edition includes the complete "Soul of an Indian", as well as other writings by Ohiyesa (Charles Alexander Eastman), one of the great interpreters of American Indian thought, and three great speeches by Chiefs Joseph, Seattle, and Red Jacket.

I have always admired the native Americans and sorrowed for the suffering they have endured.

This is a beautiful insight the their beliefs which are so much better than those of Christianity and the west.
I wish and hope I can find out more and learn it to teach to my child.

Thank you

I am left with the desire to hear more. It is though a lesson to meditate on what is said, Ni matter how plain or short. Quality over quantity. A very thought provoking collection and a great privilege to have access to this distillation and compilation from such disparate sources.

Very good
