The Medicine Way Companion


Book Description

This book is a Must Have for anyone that already has The Medicine Way!!!! While The Medicine Way is a book like no other in describing the “What” of things, this Companion to it is equally unique in that it is the How To instructions for any Medicine Person or Shaman, be they practicing or developing. In it are Ceremonial instructions as well as how to make Medicine “Tools” like a Drum, Rattle, or Prayerstick! Needless to say it is better if one already has The Medicine Way, but this Companion to it stands on its own two feet as they say….







The North American Indian: The Hupa. The Yurok. The Karok. The Wiyot. Tolowa and Tututni. The Shasta. The Achomawi. The Klamath


Book Description

"[A] comprehensive and permanent record of all the important tribes of the United States and Alaska that still retain to a considerable degree their primitive customs and traditions. The value of such a work, in great measure, will lie in the breadth of its treatment, in its wealth of illustration, and in the fact that it represents the result of personal study of a people who are rapidly losing the traces of their aboriginal character and who are destined ultimately to become assimilated with the 'superior race.' It has been the aim to picture all features of the Indian life and environment--types of the young and the old, with their habitations, industries, ceremonies, games, and everyday customs ... Though the treatment accorded the Indians by those who lay claim to civilization and Christianity has in many cases been worse than criminal, a rehearsal of these wrongs does not properly find a place here"--General introduction.

Single Tree


Book Description

"An amazing collection! Richard takes us into the worlds of characters who are as varied and complex as life itself. Sometimes tough, sometimes tender and caring, these stories touch our humanness in ways that are as deeply satisfying as they are entertaining." -Laurelee Roark, coauthor of It's Not About Food "R.V. Schmidt is a born storyteller of the outdoors, wild animals, road trips, heartwarming coincidences and salt-of-the-earth relationships, all set in layer upon layer of natural western beauty, carefully observed and beautifully described. At root is deep wisdom evolved from our rough and penchant frontier ethos plus Schmidt's boundless acceptance of life. All you need is a quiet evening, a comfortable chair, and a fire in the hearth. Hard to come by nowadays, but Single Tree will create that wool blanket and those warm crackling logs in your heart." -Clive Matson, author of Let the Crazy Child Write
