SECRET NATIVE AMERICAN PATHWAYS

This treasury summarizes spiritual beliefs and practices of Cherokee, Apache, Pueblo and Sioux peoples to lead listeners along the path to inner peace. Mails explains ceremonies, medicine men and their powers, and makes suggestions for applying these practices as we walk our own spiritual pathways. Cook reads simply and effectively. However, it's all difficult for listeners to comprehend; perhaps a text would better present these unusual and complex ideas. Music adds to the presentation, and a brochure attempts to help explain a questing place and the ceremonial objects. Though the work is well paced and clearly read, only motivated listeners will learn much from it in this format. S.C.A. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: NOV 95]
