Native American Wisdom (Classic Wisdom Collections)

Nice little book could’ve been longer

I love everything about this crucial message to the Non-indigenous people of their World!!!

this book as it turns out is the exact copy of another book by the same author entitled wisdom of the native Americans,

This is the way first nations taught their young. Listen, watch, let the meaning come to you. Don't grab for it. Have patience. Kent Nerburn gathered these pieces as a first step, a primer. Here is a way for many to become aquainted with the high moral standard of a people who could not come to terms with the devistation, abuse and total disregard the northern europeans had for all that was sacred and essential to the Indians. This is an opportunity to learn first hand the lesson that an ancestor might have gifted to you, and to decide what it means to your life and what you will do with this great gift. Learning and following this guidance has brought many people closer to finding their own paths and a greater sense of freedom and peace. There is a second book which also includes writings of others and Great Speeches of Leaders that should be read. "The Wisdom of The Native Americans"

I need some Native American spirituality material for a retreat I am involved with. We need to keep the retreat respectful of Native Americans, so I have been collecting books about Native American Spirituality. "Native American Wisdom" is one of the better books I have found, and is certainly the most useful. I downloaded it to my Kindle Fire so that I can read it at night at the campfire. The accounts are of various lengths -- all small, which is perfect for the retreat. "Native American Wisdom" is the perfect book for my needs.

Great BOOK ...

This is going to be required reading for my sons when they reach the ripe old age of 12. There is so much to be learned from it and words to take to heart and live by. I'll be reading it again and again as the years go by. And you don't have to be Native American to understand what's being said. This is a book for everybody and I think if everybody were to read it, think about what's being said, even put some of it to use in their lives, this world would be a much better place.

I just think much of Native American wisdom is very spiritual and profound. I believe this book has captured this in so mant of its quotes. My son, who I believe lives with much of this kind of wisdom, introduced me to this book. His book was falling apart with use and he had tried to find another. I was able to find this book through Amazon and was very grateful I could give it to him.

Top quality. Excellent service

The cover is different, and the book is on the small side, but so are the quotes, so it all matches really, Now just trying to tie a saying to tribe and or person
