About This Item
Rochester, Vermont: Inner Traditions. Very Good. 1992. PAPERBACK. Paperback. 8.4 X 5.9 X 0.7 inches. VERY GOOD CONDITION... PAPERBACK,clean, solid, bright; Black & WHITE TITLES ON grey PAPER COVERS, showing spiral of brown robed native americans into hole in ground.. ; 176 pages; eye-opening journey through the terrain of Native American spirituality contrasts contemporary society's rejection of the sacred--and its arrogant belief in its own power to control the cosmos--with native traditions of reverence for the earth. The author reconstructs the archetypal and symbolic significance of indigenous rituals and sacred sites, placing Native American spirituality in the context of the world's great religions. The comparison illustrates the richness and universality of the native approach to the earth as a cherished being and reveals the poverty of our present-day attitudes toward the natural environment and its living creatures. This book is an urgent call to rediscover and become firmly grounded on the sacred earth .
