Together they reveal how consistent Momaday's stately, oratorical voice has been during his year career. Consistent, too, has been his concern for humanity's place in the natural world and for the spiritual messages Native American traditions offer an alienated society. Momaday's reminiscences of tribal elders, his lively way with a traditional story, his wonder at natural beauty--these are not mere embellishments on the political analysis that he weaves into the essays; rather, they are vital components of Momaday's complex way with words.

House Made of Dawn by N.

The magnificent Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of a proud stranger in his native land. He was a young American Indian named Abel, and he lived in two worlds. One was that of his father, wedding him to the rhythm of the seasons, the harsh beauty of the land, the ecstasy of the drug called peyote. The other was the world of the twentieth century, goading him into a compulsive cycle of sexual exploits, dissipation, and disgust. Home from a foreign war, he was a man being torn apart, a man descending into hell.

The Ancient Child Circle of Wonder: There are many "Native" books out there, but rarely are any written by enrolled registered tribal members who have personally participated in their ceremonies and culture. Fewer yet, are written by Native Americans who fought for the return of the old traditions as well as traveling with the holy people of the past. The author, Ed Eagle Man McGaa, responds to numerous questions directed by young Americans to an Oglala Sioux who has personally participated in his tribe's ceremonies and culture.

Medicine of the Cherokee: The Way of Right Relationship by J. Medicine Of The Cherokee: The Way Of Right Relationship is the story of the physical, mental, spiritual, and natural aspects of humans as told through many generations of elder teaches of Native American medicine.

With stories that tell about the "four directions" and the "universal circle", these ancient Cherokee teachings also offer wisdom on circle gatherings, herbs, healing, and ways to reduce stress and find harmony and balance in all our relationships. The way of our modern world can separate us from nature and make us prone to disease, signs of being on the wrong path. They say that man and the buffalo lived in tile darkness below as brother and brother, and that the female buffalo and woman lived as sister and sister.

When the buffalo comes up from beneath the surface, he becomes a man. And when he goes back into the ground, he becomes a buffalo again. How did God create this? How did he create the Chanunpa, crying for a vision, sweat lodge, andSundance? He created them for all people, but maybe the Lakota were better listeners in those days, and that's why they still have their culture.

His historical novel Fools Crow is one of a kind: Wisdom and Power by Thomas E.

It provides a great deal of guidance on traditional ceremonies. The Teachings of Don Juan: First in Castaneda's compelling classic series detailing his journey toward knowledge and enlightenment via a Yaqui Indian sorcerer, Don Juan. Things do happen to us that we are much too frightened to confide in others, for fear of reprisals. Left alone we begin to question our own sensibilites and in an act of self-preservation dismiss this part of our reality.

What Castaneda does for us is help verify and describe these events. It is a journey that only the pure of heart and courageous can attempt. In this book, Castaneda resumes his apprenticeship, determined to go deeper still into don Juan's world, to learn to see beyond the surface realities of life. A Separate Reality is a work that is at once the discovery of a hitherto unrecorded body of wisdom and knowledge and the story of a remarkable and shattering personalexperience.
