Description

Indigenous people of wisdom have offered prayers of power, protection, and healing since the dawn of time. From Wovoka, the Ghost Dance prophet, to contemporary healer Kenneth Coosewoon, medicine people have called on the spiritual world to help humans in their relationships with each other and the natural world. Many American Indians-past and present-have had the ability to use power to access wisdom, knowledge, and spiritual understanding.This groundbreaking collection provides fascinating stories of wisdom, spiritual power, and forces within tribal communities that have influenced the past and may influence the future. Through discussions of omens, prophecies, war, peace, ceremony, ritual, and cultural items such as masks, prayer sticks, sweat lodges, and peyote, this volume offers examples of the ways in which Native American beliefs in spirits have been and remain a fundamental aspect of history and culture. Drawing from written and oral sources, the book offers readers a greater understanding of creation narratives, oral histories, and songs that speak of healers, spirits, and power from tribes across the North American continent.American Indian medicine ways and spiritual power remain vital today. With the help of spirits, people can heal the sick, protect communities from natural disasters, and mediate power of many kinds between the spiritual and temporal worlds. As the contributors to this volume illustrate, healers are the connective cloth between the ancient past and the present, and their influence is significant for future generations.Contributors: R. David Edmunds, Joe Herring, Benjamin T. Jenkins, Troy Johnson, Al Logan Slagle, Michelle Lorimer, L. G. Moses, Richard D. Scheuerman, Clifford E. Trafzer. Review "An insightful introduction to the varying roles that spirituality has among American Indians."-- Choice "For anyone interested in the spiritual ways of American Indians, this collection provides a compelling introduction to the metaphysical and physical reality of Indian Country from the past to the present."--Donald L. Fixico, author of Indian Resilience and Rebuilding "Clifford E. Trafzer brings together leading scholars to examine the importance of American Indian medicine ways to American Indian history and contemporary American Indian life."--William J. Bauer Jr., author of We Were All Like Migrant Workers Here "The collection's diversity of subjects, regions, and cultures supports the larger idea of native spirit power in its various forms and uses, and how this larger concept remains relevant today."--Tash Smith, author of Capture These Indians for the Lord About the Author Clifford E. Trafzer is Distinguished Professor of History and the Rupert Costo Chair in American Indian Affairs at the University of California, Riverside. Trafzer has been an archivist and museum curator, and he is the author or co-author of many books, including As Long as the Grass Shall Grow and Rivers Flow, A Chemehuevi Song, River Song, and The Snake River-Palouse and the Invasion of the Inland Northwest.
