Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Chapman is a highly acclaimed author and photographer whose first book, The Trail of Many Spirits (Mountain, 1997), was well received in both the United Kingdom and the United States. His new work, which combines literature and photography in a single written "mirror" for humanity, is one of those rare books that leads readers almost effortlessly to examine themselves and their own outlook on life. A unique format blends the views, opinions, philosophy, and candid commentary of an array of Native American representatives who use song, poetry, stories, and personal reflections to emphasize a central theme: that connectedness with tradition can be a life-sustaining force. The contributors translate the meaning of continuity among all things in a manner that is personal and pleasing. This book, which gives us a window into the Native American experience, should go far to eliminate many of our own misconceptions and misunderstandings.?John Dockall, Bernice P.
