Rich with magnificent photographs and powerful words, Wisdomkeepers takes the reader into the inner thoughts, jokes, healing remedies, and humanity of Native American spiritual Elders, or the Wisdomkeepers. Wisdomkeepers profiles spiritual elders from the Sioux, Iroquois, Seminole, Ojibway, Hopi, Ute, Pawnee, and other tribes. The elders explain who they are, how they live, and what they believe. Readers learn of Buffalo Jim, a Seminole who describes the Seminole story of creation as if the Everglades were Eden, and Mathew King, a Lakota who warns of punishments for those who would destroy mother earth. Readers share the innermost thoughts and feelings, the dreams and visions, the laughter, the healing remedies and prophecies of the Wisdomkeepers. Above all, they offer their humanity, which shines through each page. They are the Elders, the Old Ones, the Grandfathers and Grandmothers, the fragile repositories of sacred ways and natural wisdom going back millennia—yet never more relevant than today.
