Keepers of the fire : journey to the tree of life based on Black Elk's vision

"Keepers of the Fire was inspired by the vision of Black Elk, an Oglala Sioux medicine man who lived at the turn of this century. A simple archetypal myth resulting from Eagle Walking Turtle's own visionary breakthrough underlies the journey made by medicine man, Blue Spotted Horse, to the far ends of the earth to spread a message of peace and harmony. The story is vividly and evocatively illustrated with twenty-three full color paintings which came to Eagle Walking Turtle at the time of his awakewning."-- Back cover.
