Sandy Johnson traveled across North America to chronicle the life stories of elders from such tribes as the Navajo, Hopi, Sioux and Mohawk. The elders are spiritual, political and cultural touchstones of their communities and talk of life on the reservation, environmental issues, the modern challenges of substance abuse, and the survival of their native culture. The voices Johnson encounters are critical to all who share a concern for the planet and the spiritual life of those who live on it. 2 cassettes.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
Kitt Weagant describes how Sandy Johnson received a calling, left her New York City apartment and traveled cross-country to interview Native American elders. This collection of remarkable interviews reveals invaluable principles only these elders could impart, concerning the knowledge of healing, traditional beliefs and family culture. Russell Means and Marjorie Tanin, American Indians themselves, authentically perform as the male and female elders. Simply interpreted, without professional polish and rich with tribal accents, these colorful stories paint authentic spiritual images. Means and Tanin honor all Native American ancestors with their noble and respectful interpretations of these elders and the wisdom they generously impart. B.J.P. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Elders help,
This review is from: The Book of Elders: The Life Stories & Wisdom of Great American Indians (Audio Cassette)
This helps when a person wants to remember the basic way to love and share with one another. It is about respect and sharing and accepting one another on motherearth. It would be a good book for our children, to remember the way it was. It would help for us to remember the old ways and yet be able to walk in the world as it is today, using the words of the elders from this great land.
