Easy to read and understand. Very “down to earth”. A guide book to preparing the necessary items and tools of the Native culture. Very well written.
Rating: 3 / 5
this book is very educational as far as a personal account of what it is like to walk the red path in todays society. Gives a background in historical knowledge and where certain beleifs/customs arose from, and actual events that took place. the first couple chapters are more of a history lesson on how the native americans were pushed out of their homelands, and then relates the struggle to keep the traditional beleifs and traditions alive. most of the ceremonial traditions are coverd in great detail so the reader would be able to attend and know what to expect. overall the book was quite refreshing and well written, focused more on a historical versus modern day spin on native american ceremony/traditions.
