From the Author
Author's reviewNATIVE WISDOM- Perceptions of the Natural Way- responds to numerous questions directed
by young Americans to an Oglala Sioux who has personally participated in his tribe's ceremonies
and culture. There are many "Native" books out there but rarely are any written by an enrolled,
registered tribal member who fought for the return of the old traditions as well as traveling with
the holy people of the past. Native Wisdom opens the door to the real Native American cultural
and working Spirituality. Forget the European mind-set and walk toward experienced
knowledge. Observe the splendid world view accomplishments of a people with a strong
Humanitarian and Earth Track Record. The Book begins with the Chapter- Who is God? The
Indian's response is "I do not know! And, no one truthfully, really knows for sure." Creator is a
Mystery but yet Its teachings are everywhere and very observable if we have the sense to look!
IT (Great Mystery & not He or She) is evidenced through direct,undiluted observation. This
Natural Way method led the people to Democracy, close family ties, disciplined yet freedom in
living, and a viable Mother Earth for thousands of years!
