About this listen

Joseph, Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, Black Elk, Ohiyesa, and many others share their insights on Native American ways of living, learning, and dying. There is something archetypal about the philosophy of the original Americans, especially to the sensibilities of modern European Americans. We recognize it as coming from the earth we walk on, from those who preceded us. As we read the wisdom of these peoples, it is possible to feel a reconnection with our land and ourselves. Taken from orations, recorded observations of life and social affairs, and other first-person testimonies, this book selects the best of Native American wisdom and distills it to its essence in short, digestible quotes that are meaningful and timeless — perhaps even more timely now than when they were written.

Editor reviews

Of course, it is disturbing to be reminded of all the ways that the European settlers took advantage of and stole from the Native Americans, but there is plenty of uplifting material in this audiobook. As I listened in my car, Native American Wisdom transported me to the forests and plains. I loved hearing the thoughts about the earth, about public discourse, and even about marriage.
