Description
In this work, the author examines various aspects of a selection of Western Great Lakes American Indian philosophical traditions and beliefs. He combines over 40 years of stories, anecdotes, and observations learned from Western Great Lakes tribal elders into a coherent and thought-provoking philosophy text which challenges readers to look beyond their own cultural pre-possessions and discover a method of asking questions where the answers come from within.
