This review is from: 365 Days Of Walking The Red Road: The Native American Path to Leading a Spiritual Life Every Day (Religion and Spirituality) (Paperback)

Pay no attention to the reviewer who said this book is frowned upon by Native people. I sell it at pow wow's, shows and give it as gifts to my indigenous and non indigenous friends and family. We LOVE it. My father said that it reminds him of the teachings of his father, and his father's father. A lot of information is packed into this tiny book and I highly recommend it as an introduction into my culture. There's history and facts and how to's and explanations. Yes, spirituality can be oversimplified in many books, but this one is a better one of all those who do that. This book at least explains things. I went to Terri Jean's website and read her Native Truth columns and she is someone who goes to great lengths to make sure her work is accurate and authentic. I think she did a great job here. You need to read her columns and see what she is writing about. This is not her real work. This is a small piece of it. Most of her articles are about topics that all people should know about and things whites need to understand about us. So read this book to get an understanding as to who we are, and then read her column to see why we're here. And do not pay attention to the man who wrote the negative review. Look at all the others! They are positive and love this 365 book. One people who speaks for all of us is not right. Many many people love 365 days and I give it as gifts.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Special Native American Daily Read & Meditation, November 3, 2006

This review is from: 365 Days Of Walking The Red Road: The Native American Path to Leading a Spiritual Life Every Day (Religion and Spirituality) (Paperback)

For those of us who take the time to get up extra early, open our front doors, and listen to the birds calling as the sun is rising, this book is so helpful to start your day off just right. The Words of our Grandfathers remind us to live with our hearts and pay attention to the old ways in our every day lives.

The author, Terri Jean, has had the foresight to add in History notes to remind us of what heppened in the past, reminding us of seasonal thoughts, and so much more.

This book is dynamic and meditative. A worthwhile present for someone special who is a Native American.

I have a friend who collects Native American books and I thought this would be a nice gift for her. When I got the book I looked in it and was real surprised at how much information was in there. It's alot! I learned alot just in the first month. I learned about Native American people I never knew existed and history of things I didnt know happened. I think teachers would also like this book because theres so much stuff in it to tell to kids. Anyway I bought her another copy and have this little gem by my computer desk so each day I can learn something new.
