Synopsis
As our existing culture shifts, what do the ancient ones who have been trained in the sacred traditions of this land have to say to us? With this question, McFadden begins his quest to interview Native American elders, who counsel that we must reestablish a deep and lasting connection with the planet in order to ensure its preservation.

Reviews
This is a collection of interviews with Native American elders modeled after John F. Kennedy's famous Profiles in Courage . McFadden, a senior correspondent for Planet Earth Magazine , talked to a group of elders about their personal experiences and asked them to reveal the knowledge they have accumulated over the years about living in harmony with the Earth and its creatures. Some elders broke a traditional taboo by speaking of sacred things to non-Native Americans. The 14 profiles reflect a diversity of backgrounds, educations, and heritages. The thread that runs through each interview is that humanity is on the edge of a new world, and the need to have a new political outlook, ecology, sociology, or spirituality is imperative. Other elders profiled combine their native heritage with society's knowledge. This wise and provocative collection is highly recommended for many collections.
