This book opens our eyes to new horizons of Native religion.
It is very rare to find an author who immerses you in the culture and religion of Native people as this one has. As a reader of Native American culture and religion I find this book to be a gem. With a focus on native archetypes, this author transports the reader to the reservation and opens the Native and non-Native to a spirituality built on ancient indigenous symbols.

Archetypal Theology?
Seldom have I viewed my culture as an archetype, and I am interested in reading this book. As a doctoral student who is a Cree pipe carrier, I have much weaving to do of my own. Theology and a classroom full of priests was where I first began my doctorate. It was a Bio-ethics course. I was amazed at the meeting of our two worlds, and as I pray about my studies, I know that the weaving of these two worlds is a part of it. A challenge that the author has undertaken is an unusual feat, and from the past work of this author, I would certainly say that it is worth reading.

Doctoral Student appreciates work
I am a Cree pipe carrier who has chosen to do a doctorate degree. I would like to weave my cultural path in with the demands of scholarly writings. I would like to write to the author about my dissertation and the truth of the Christian-Cree Path. Could you please forward my request to the author. My name is Grizzly Who Packs Good Medicine and I would be honoured to speak with the author.
