THE BOOK OF ELDERS

Kitt Weagant describes how Sandy Johnson received a calling, left her New York City apartment and traveled cross-country to interview Native American elders. This collection of remarkable interviews reveals invaluable principles only these elders could impart, concerning the knowledge of healing, traditional beliefs and family culture. Russell Means and Marjorie Tanin, American Indians themselves, authentically perform as the male and female elders. Simply interpreted, without professional polish and rich with tribal accents, these colorful stories paint authentic spiritual images. Means and Tanin honor all Native American ancestors with their noble and respectful interpretations of these elders and the wisdom they generously impart.
