American Indians have proven themselves successful stewards of the earth for at least ten thousand years. Their Life Way, their spirituality, was completely misunderstood by their European conquerors who labeled them "savages" and "pagans." This allowed our dominant society to consider itself a superior race of human beings, and provided the excuse needed to take native lands and virutlaly exterminate our red brothers and sisters. If you take the time to sudy and listen, however, you will learn that American Indians were actually "unitheists". But there was no European word to describe their philosophy until the book Journey Song.
American Indians understand that We are all One, and that Great Spirit/God is everywhere and in all things. This seemingly simple answer embraces even deeper truths; that all evil will eventually cease to exist and that love, all powerful, will triumph -- presaging our ability to save both ourselves and the earth. This is the message of Journey Song.
