A crucial sourcebook for anyone involved with native issues, Dancing with a Ghost seeks to bridge the gap which exists between Native American and other groups by examining the traditional Cree and Ojibway world view and by showing why their philosophy so often places them in conflict with the justice system.

Ross' Dance of Understanding,
By henry niese (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dancing With a Ghost: Exploring Indian Reality (Paperback)
Rupert Ross, with a lot of help from Native elders, illuminates the chasm between Native & non-Native world views. The book demonstrates through his experiences as Assistant Crown Attorney in Ontario, and as North Country fishing guide, his realization that intuition and feeling are as important as, and sometimes superior to, the old English rational intellectual approach to human affairs. Chapter 6, "Being Indian Is a State of Mind" is worth the price of the whole book. Bravo!

Got it wrong,
By Native Parent (Anishinabe Nation) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dancing With a Ghost: Exploring Indian Reality (Paperback)
If you read Rupert Ross' next book Returning to the teaching,
he writes how he got it wrong in this book about the upbringing of Indian children, he talks about the three legged stool, read the book to find out more.

A brilliant summary of the Indian mind and world view,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dancing With a Ghost: Exploring Indian Reality (Paperback)
There is simply no other book that deals so effectively with creating a structure to understand the native American world view. This is an absolute must read for anyone interested in American Indians and justice in Indian country.
