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.

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.

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.
