My beloved country and brothers
16 Aug 2010
Format:Hardcover
Native American religion is a way of life. It is interesting to learn that the teaching known as Gaiwiiyo (good word), very similar to Mandarin Chinese - good spoken word!
This book is a good introduction to Native American faiths and how white men came with Christianity to conquer and convert. In 1889, President Benjamin Harrison Administration urged the destruction of Indian tribal identity by"to conform to white men/s ways, peacefully if they will, forcibly if they must" (P.99)
Native Americans once exclaimed: "it used they have the Bible and we have the land, now we have the Bible and they have the land" Now the land mushroom into casinos and the oral history traditions were lost. How many museums devote a significant portion to the study of Native Americans? With the new technology , the Native American culture and tradition and religion can be save to share in enriching American spirituality.

This is an intelligent, readable, though provoking book. Perhaps it tackles too big a subject ("Native America Spirituality!"), and I have a few issues with that alone. But as an overview, this book does a splendid job, and it would be well combined with books addressing more specific issues.
