Through centuries of unwelcome change and anguishing trials, Native Americans have held on to their heritages and histories. With this collection of sayings, distinguished Sioux author Virginia Driving Hawk Sneve and award-winning Cherokee-and-African-American artist Synthia Saint James pay tribute to the words of wisdom that have helped sustain these peoples. These sayings come from many tribes. They were spoken or written by elders and teenagers, by those who lived long ago and authors writing today. Some come from renowned political and spiritual leaders, others are from ordinary tribal members. This rich and thoughtful compilation celebrates Native American cultures and shares their enduring wisdom. Reinforced library binding. Full-color illus.

The first book of American Indian quotations, this volume offers 800 quotations covering more than four centuries of American life. The quotations include the words of warriors, poets, politicians, doctors, lawyers, athletes, and others. Arranged chronologically, they enable one to follow the history of American Indians since Columbus through the words of those who lived through centuries of despoilment, disease, and death. Putting real people into the tragedy that has been the story of Indian life, the book includes quotes not only about historic incidents, but also of Indian views on education, values, ecology, family, and religion. There is humor as well as quotations of defiance, war, and bloodshed. The language is rich and colorful, always moving. The book provides brief biographical information on those quoted, including both contemporary and historical figures. The material is cross-referenced with subject, key word, author, and tribal indexes. The work is a reference book, a history book, and a resource for speakers and educators.

The Native Americans were the predominant people in the United States before the arrival of the colonists. The history of the natives was both fascinating and at the same time a lot more tragic. It is estimated that around 100 million native people inhabited in the continent before the arrival of the Europeans and it was their land for many years. The characteristic diversities between the then established Natives and the migrated Europeans were enough to create extensive tensions and political wars. The ravenous desire of the new settlers in claiming the land coupled with diseases that they got from the immigrants to which they weren’t acquired immunity, the Native Indians began to loss whatever they were endeared. While the thirsty settlers and miners tried to abduct the Indigenous Americans from their own land, the chiefs or leaders of the tribes fought vigorously or peacefully for the rights of their people. As an honor for such heroes, let’s delve into the passionate words of these chiefs of the Native American tribes…

This collection of writings from revered Native Americans offers timeless, meaningful lessons on living and learning.

Sage Sayings is a compilation of some of the most inspiring, thought provoking, and sagacious words we have ever read. We certainly take no credit in penning these sage sayings nor can we, with much certainty, guarantee their authenticity. Nevertheless, the works, we are very certain, will cause you to pause, reflect, and perhaps even reprioritize. The collection includes proverbs, prayers, and quotations that we believe were written or spoken by a group of very wise men and women. As far as we can determine the origin of each of these seminal passages was a Native American. The compilation includes about 500 sayings we discovered.

This enhanced edition of The Seven Paths contains 20 minutes of exclusive video interviews with Good Buffalo Eagle, co-founder of ANASAZI Foundation, and his sons Thunder Voice Eagle and Gentle Wind Eagle. This gives the reader a glimpse of the ANASAZI trail and greater insight into what it means to live the Path of WE. People have moved away from Mother Earth, bringing heartache, pain, and other maladies of the modern age. The “self-help” movement claims to offer peace and fulfillment to individuals, but this solitary approach takes us only so far. Ultimately, it is in communion with our fellow beings and the natural world that we are made whole. We need to leave the path of Me and follow the path of We. This poetic, evocative story presents the meditations of an ancient Anasazi tribesman who rejects his family and sets off on a journey through the desert. He walks seven paths, each teaching a lesson symbolized by an element of the natural world: light, wind, water, stone, plants, animals, and, finally, the unity of all beings with the Creator. The Seven Paths reveals a source of wisdom, restoration, and renewal familiar to native people but lost to the rest of us, seven elements among nature that combine to mend human hearts. Filmed against the backdrop of the beautiful and dramatic Arizona desert, the thirteen videos expand on the deeper messages of the book. ANASAZI founder Good Buffalo Eagle reflects on the profound gift of choice we are all granted, how we transform ourselves by lifting others up, what happens when we recognize the seeds of greatness in ourselves and others, how nature teaches us, and how we find our belonging place. His son Gentle Wind Eagle explains why a heart at peace can always overcome a heart at war. And his son Thunder Voice Eagle shares his moving personal experiences walking each of the seven paths.
