Only for anthropological students - Rated
I like Keith Nerburn's own writings such as his exquisite book, Letters to my son. But I'm very disappointed with this book. The translation is very bad and the philosophy of the elders from Native Americans seems outdated. The best chapter in this book is writings about love but still, I don't feel it gives a valuable advice. I don't agree with this idea that a man is more superior than a woman and I find their view on children so rigid and old-fashioned. Perhaps it's good for anthropological students for their case studies but not for general readers.

The Wisdom of the Native Americans (Religion and Spirituality)
This book is truely amazing. Simple yet wise views on all that is around us and guidance as how to live life to the fullest. Forget thousands of dollars on gurus and life coaches, invest in this one book, have an open mind and reflect on all that is within it's pages. Amongst the last of earths original peoples their wisdom is far deeper inbedded in "Mother Earth" and the way we should be living and looking after the planet. Forget civilisation and how the politicians tell you to live this is for their own benefit and will cost us all the earth. Civilisations come and go normally through their own self destruction. The native american is still here and his guidance is untainted by greed. A must for everyone who cares about who and what we are.
Paradise lost! - Rated
This book is a superb read, the red indians had a wonderful natural life before the europeans went over there & thought they would "civilise" them!
Just imagine no need for money, no thugs no crime & no prisons!! Plus a natural & cultural education.....
This book is like warm sunshine on the soul - Rated
This book is a great intro to the wisdom of Native Americans, as well as it offers such a nice collection of glimpses into completely different ways of life that can be created by human kind. Particularly touching also are the testimonials from Indian leaders showing how they practiced a culture and attitude of respect and constructive engagement with whites, only to be met often enough with a response of demented brutality and destruction of their people. Reading this book made me imagine what an exhilirating experience it must have been to live in societies where dignity and respect and bravery and a deeply holistic way of life with nature was the underlying matrix of society. What precious things have been lost with the genocide of indigenous peoples. It also made me think how nice it would be if Hollywood, TV, and pop culture instead of putting out their usual trash, went by rooting their production in the teachings such as those chronicled in this book. Readers may also be interested in "Lies My Teacher Told Me : Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong " by J.Lowen. Lowen tells in one of the chapters regarding Native Americans that at a certain point in time, colonial Europeans in North America had serious trouble in keeping many white people from running away from the Euro communities to join Native American societies. This book offers a glimpse as to why that would have been quite nice. Vera
