With the vivid imagery that has kept the tale alive for centuries, Percy Bullchild recounts a Plains Indian history of the world's creation. These American Indian tales present a profoundly different perspective on God and Man while simultaneously offering shockingly similar details like the creation of the first woman from the rib of the first man. Published in a collectors' hardcover edition, "American Indian Genesis" introduces students of Native American spirituality, mythology, and ceremony to an authentic and unique voice.
