Felipe Molina Describes His Own Culture,
By Edith Nies (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Yaqui Deer Songs/Maso Bwikam: A Native American Poetry (Sun Tracks) (Paperback)
Misconceptions about the Yaqui (Yoeme) people are widespread because the New Age movement has turned them into gurus. Carlos Castañeda has surely put this tribe on the map, but not in a way the Yaquis might have liked to see it. The one book which has been written from a Yaqui point of view (`Yaqui Deer Songs' by Felipe S. Molina) offers us a glimpse into a world which is, in many ways, very different from ours. You can read about the sacred deer and its meaning to the Yaquis, but I guess you have to be a Yaqui to grasp its full meaning. I would recommend this book to anyone who is truly interested in the world view of the Yaqui people.

exquisite poetry in Yaqui and English,
By A Customer
This review is from: Yaqui Deer Songs/Maso Bwikam: A Native American Poetry (Sun Tracks) (Paperback)
The lyrics of the Yaqui Deer Songs are magical, moving poetry both in English translations and in the liquid sounds of the Yaqui originals. This book gives a sense of the true flavor of Yaqui culture and spirituality.
