An excellent piece of work., 1 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I believe that we shape and form ourselves everyday of our lives and that this freedom of action or inaction develops, molds and actually creates our spiritual entity-our individual spirit or what some refer to as the soul. Eagleman offers us the opportunity to share in that journey of freedom through walking with him through a series of responses to questions from a Humanities II course he once took. The question are varied, such as Who is God?, How did you become involved in your religions?, Is there a hierarchy within the Natural Way?, What are the rules, mircles, views of good and evil? A fascinating walk it is too. In a definite sense of Native Wisdom is a personal Creed.
Eagleman responds indepth to the multitude of questions in what might be called a rational manner. However, his responses are based on his experiences that have molded and created his own spiritual entity. Where his experiences have led him down a path different from others, he offers alternative ways of thinking from others' experiences.
I look forward to reading his other works, and especially would relish the opportunity to read his reflections on the Native American Life prior to the white man in this land, for instance about the intertribal wars, and more about his reflections and experiences of forgiveness.
I recommend reading Eagleman's Native Wisdom for anyone who desires another perspective on living a natural, simple life in connection with the universe.

This is a quick read because it is so full of truth. It really touched me to read the words that I already knew in my heart and spirit. This man is brilliant. We are all related. This reaffirms that which we should all be aware of.

A Good Way, 11 Jun 1999
By A Customer
Written in response to questions asked by some of our Nations youth, this book will make you think and answer the questions for yourself. EagleMan gives a much needed perspective to some of the problems that we as a Country/World are living with. Gifts of Truth are found that help us as individuals make good healing choices for ourselves, the larger world, and the Generations Unborn. A Very good book for those seeking to understand how the differences in our Spirituality must connect us all within the Power of the Hoop.
