WH-3228-3 INDIAN SPIRIT Edited by Michael Fitzgerald A compilation of 100 historical photographs and eloquent words of Native American leaders. Although there is no longer any way to experience the people and lifeways of the Plains Indians firsthand, we can still approach them through the best photographs and quotes that recall to us the spirit of those times. Indian Spirit achieves precisely that. The pages of Indian Spirit open to us a world of honesty, generosity, self-mastery, courage in the face of adversity, nobility of soul, and of constant living awareness of the Creator in creation." The photos and words are taken from a wide variety of tribes from the Great Plains, but the single message that they express is clear: the olden-day Indians and their way of life were imbued with the presence of the Great Spirit. These photos and words combine to communicate that presence to us, powerfully but with immense grace and dignity. 133pp, photos. Paper: ISBN: 0941532283 $13.95 |

OS18791- LEGENDS
OF THE STAR ANCESTORS: Stories of
Extraterrestrial Contact from Wisdom Keepers around the World By Nancy Red Star Interviews with American Indian spiritual leaders concerning the long-standing contact that has existed between their tribes and extraterrestrial visitors. * First time that Indian wisdomkeepers have shared with the outside world their knowledge of extraterrestrials and their teachings. * Includes more than eighty color illustrations by prominent Indian artists. * Among those interviewed are Dawnland founder Dana Pictou, Mayan Day-keeper Hunbatz Men, Choctaw wisdomkeeper Sequoyah Trueblood, and Creek healer and artist Shona Bear Clark. American Indians have always said, "We come from the stars." What they haven't shared previously is that this extraterrestrial contact continues in sweat lodges and kivas across the land. Breaking their centuries-old silence, elders and spiritual figures from Indian nations in North and Central America speak here of ongoing contact with visitors from other planets and the teachings they bring that can aid humanity. These teachings provide guidelines for racial healing, restoring the balance of nature, mastering psychic abilities, and taking our true place among the peoples of the universe. $ 24.95 |
