Abstract

"This is the personal logbook of Mahad'yuni (Evelyn Eaton), a woman of white and Indian ancestry. Evelyn is a Metis Medicine Woman of the Bear Medicine Tribe and the Deer Tribe, who received her Pipe from an Arapaho Medicine Man, and much of her eighteen year long training from the Paiute Medicine Man in the Owens Valley who also made the Pipe for her and blessed it. This first person account of Amerindian healing rituals includes her personal triumphs over physical affliction. It is the story of a Sweat Lodge, a Medicine Wheel, Shamans, the Grandfathers, and "close to Mother Earth" people. It is a story of deep compassion. It is a story of tenderness. It is a story of power — the power of extraordinary healing capacities that are available to every human being."--Back cover.
