Dr. Kaltreider has captured the essence of the dilemma facing the modern technological society of the West and increasingly of developing countries: the rape and disregard for the earth and for the interconnectedness of all life on the planet. The juxtaposition of the life led by Native Americans before the European conquest with the immense problems we face in our societies, our industries, our building ecological disaster is the fabric of many Native American prophecies which fortell a time of decision or a descent into complete destruction of humankind and much of the rest of the planet. The conversations with Chasing Deer do reveal a clear way to avoid the dire predictions as revealed in many Native American tribal legends, but that way requires us to acknowledge that we are in desperate straits and to embrace change in the direction of the life led by the first Americans, characterized by respect for all our relations on the planet, both animate and inanimate. For there is hope if, as Chasing Deer says, if we take as our motto "Mitakue Oyasin"--we are all related.

Brilliant, insightful, passionate, and filled with detail and meaning...Kurt's book will touch your heart and soul. Highly recommended!

I didn't realize that I grew up with a prejudice that just stayed within me deep. I never wanted it. I always said I was NOT prejudice against Native Americans. My daughter-in-law who is N. A.recommended this book. I felt like an inocent victim of prejudice. I never meant to carry it with me. This book helped me to cleanse by crying and apologizing and asking for forgiviness to my God. Now I just have to ask my daughter-in-law for forgiveness.
