Description
"This book is a song that pours from the human heart, a song put into both words and pictures about a mysterious and wonderful people and their great dreams. Were the Indian cultures and civilizations and America's heartland mere havens of pagan religions and barbaric magnificence, ripe for conquest and exploitation, as the white men believed, something whose death would have no meaning compared to the "superior civilization" that took them over? Or did they have a knowledge and a dream that is vital to us today, of seeing our earth in danger of destruction because of the incredible stupidity of pollution, corruption, overpopulation, and war? This book answers these questions like a light singing out of the dawn. And we hope it will sing in your heart too, for it is a great song that the world needs now so desperately, a song to draw us back to a harmony with earth and sky." -- Amazon.
