Description
There is no Native American Bible, just as there was no Pentateuch written by Moses, no Tripitika by Buddha, no Dialogues by Socrates, no Gospels written by Christ. The Native American teachings in the fields of art, handicraft, woodcraft, agriculture, social life, health, and joy, need no argument beyond presentation; they speak for themselves. This book, originally published in 1937, offers these teachings under the author's belief that the example and precept are what the world needs above any other ethical teaching, and in particular, the spiritual message, which is more important, but supposedly less understood.

A very European version of the Native American way of life and how the Spirit is tied to everything. Good for boys to get an interest and feel for the Native American culture but as you learn more of the Native American culture many thing were quite diffeerent.

In reference to an earlier review, I would agree with it's author, it is a compassionate outsiders view and at times shallow and trite and stereotypical. I didn't finish it, though short.
