Essays discuss the spiritual traditions and outlooks of the Indians of North America

D. M. Dooling was founder and editorial director of Parabola magazine and president of the Society for the Study of Myth and Tradition. Paul Jordan-Smith served as a senior editor of Parabola, with responsibility for the "Epicycles," retellings of traditional stories, myths, and legend.
This collection of stories and essays offers welcome relief from the flood of pseudo-Indian spirituality cluttering libraries and bookstores. Introduced by poet/editor Joseph Bruchac, a leader in the study and dissemination of authentic texts, this work includes stories (admirably genuine) from the Iroquois, Abenaki, Cherokee, Pueblo, Winnebago, Salish, Coos-Coquille, Blackfoot, Pawnee, Lakota, Navajo, and Cheyenne and essays by Joseph Epes Brown, Sam Gill, Barre Toelken, Barbara Tedlock, Emory Sekaquaptewa, and Vine Deloria, among others--names that mean something. Recommended for its impeccable scholarship and valuable insights: "It may be that American Indians contain the last best hope for spiritual renewal in a world dominated by material considerations."-- Rhoda Carroll, Vermont Coll., Montpelier
