About the Author
Charles Alexander Eastman (1858-1939) was born on the Santee Reservation in Minnesota. His grandparents raised him after his mother's death and his father's capture during the Minnesota Sioux uprising. At the age of fifteen, he was reunited with his father and embarked on a life in white man's society. He became a doctor and spent the rest of his life helping Indian people cope with the changes to their world and trying to reconcile the opposing values and beliefs of white society and Sioux culture.
Scott Peterson is an actor experienced in theater, modern dance, and voice-over. He is an enrolled member of the Heron Clan of the Cayuga Tribe of the Six Nations of the Iroquois.

The Soul of the Indian: An Interpretation (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the religious beliefs and practices of Native American tribes, drawing from the childhood teachings and ancestral ideals of the author himself. The author provides an introduction to the "untutored" spiritual traditions of various Native American nations, which emphasize personal connection to the natural world and silent, individual communion with the Great Mystery that pervades all things. These spiritual practices, including the use of symbolic objects and ceremonies, stand in contrast to the highly organized and extroverted forms of worship that the author came to know in Euro-American society. As the text argues, this divergence reflects the indigenous belief in the interconnectedness of all living things, and the importance of humility and self-reliance for the spiritual journey.
