Spirit of the Earth: Indian Voices on Nature - Paperback
by Michael Oren Fitzgerald (Editor), Joseph A. Fitzgerald (Editor), Joseph Bruchac (Foreword by)
This book includes quotations on the beauty and meaning of nature from men and women of nearly fifty North American tribes. The illustrations include historical photographs of American Indians, as well as a wide selection of contemporary photographs showing the diversity of North American landscapes. These quotations and photographs beautifully present something of nature's timeless message. This message can be summed up in the well-known Sioux phrase often used in prayer: "We are all related."
