Vividly illustrated, very highly recommended
24 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback
Larry Zimmerman and Brian Molyneaux successfully collaborate in Native North America to illustrate tribal life, sacred arenas, spiritual traditions, and artifacts of the indigenous peoples of North America, from the Inuit of the Canadian north to the Navajo of the American southwest. After a brief introductory history of Native Americans, individual aboriginal cultures are explored, region by region. The informative surveys include Native American spiritual observances, personal and communal rituals, initiation rites, and curing ceremonies. The reader is provided informative descriptions of the powwow, rites of passage, planting rituals, oral storytelling, dreams, the ghost dance, and the drum. Of special note is an examination of issues facing Native Americans today. A very highly recommended title for students of Native American studies and history, Native North America is vividly illustrated with more than 160 color photographs.

Excellent Book!
26 Mar 2009
Format:Paperback
I bought this book on sale at B&N, and gave me a chance to look through it before buying it. Although I mainly was going to buy The Shaman book, since I study shamanism for anything that could help evolve to spiritual as a clairsentient, I was also interested in Native American Spirituality and history. This book is awesome! It covers all that one would need to know without having to buy so many books just to get little information. It covers different tribes, areas, beliefs and practice, history of first people and conflict caused by whites, awesome photos, quality book, well up to date of present conflicts and progresses. This book is the only book for me, it covers all that I was seeking to know.
