Wisdom beyond words by stepaheda  5 Stars
November 14, 2009
This book made me wish I had paid more attention to the teaching of both my grand-mother and mother. The wisdom of the Native Americans are far beyond what we can many times put into words. This book help to bring back many of the conversations that my grand-mother and mother had with me when I was growning up. I so wished I had paid more attention to their first hand teachings.

Good Insight by Frozen Reader (North Country, NY)  3 Stars
May 01, 2009
This book is a good collaboration of various speeches and teachings of many famous Native Americans. It provides an excellent insight to the ethics and morals of an entire nation of people. Tho not quite what I was looking for when I purcheased the book, still a good buy.

Lots of info by Julie T. (Ypsilanti, MI) 5 Stars
April 10, 2009
This book has lots of little excerpts from Native Americans. It's the kids of book you can pick up and read little pieces here and there, not to sit down and read it all at once. It's a treasure that keeps on giving.

Not what I expected by Voice of the Ancestors (Land of the Great Spirit, Manitoba)  1 Stars
December 04, 2008
While I have a passion for the ways of the ancestors and read this book with great interest, yet at the same time, I cannot help but to ask Kent Nerburn why he felt such editorial license to remove practically everything of substance from Charles Eastman's original 1911 treatise entitled "The Soul of an Indian". The most unfortunate part for me about this book is that in so doing, Mr. Nerburn has substituted his own interpretation for that of the original author and this has resulted in much that was of substance in the original 1911 treatise being removed and stripped.
In a day and age where our people need to hear the voices of those who were "there" and wanted to share their perspecives and teachings with future generations, who wanted to their wisdom with us, for me this was the only draw-back of this anthology but it was a significant one. I thought that I was purchasing the original words of a great Native American, Ohiyesa, but instead peered into a reflection pool: something that gives you the impression of truth but that quickly fades once the first ripple passes over the surface.
My recommendation for future editions is to include the full length text of "The Soul of an Indian". Anything less only contributes to the eradication of Native culture that has been perpetuated against the ways and teachings of our people.
