THE NATIVE AMERICAN BOOK OF WISDOM examines the belief systems of several American Indian tribes and the power that these beliefs continue to hold for the People. As a part of the Native People-Native Ways series, this book explores one of the symbolic four directions, sharing in the four stages of life. "From the Great Mystery: Wakan-Tanka" investigates the complex spirituality of the People - from the concept of the Great Mystery to the belief that all life is sacred and interrelated. "Medicine Man" is the story of a tribal healer who visits an elementary school, where the children are amazed by the power and traditions of the People.
