Product DescriptionThis work makes available for the first time in a single volume a representative collection of the major spiritual texts from the Native American Indian peoples of the East Coast. What makes this volume so unique is that it gives the reader direct access to the original works (in the words of the Indians themselves) rather than having the filtered through an interpreter. Included here are cosmological myths, thanksgiving addresses, dreams and visions, speeches of the shamans, teachings of parents, puberty fasts, blessings, healing rites, stories, songs, ceremonials for fires, hunting, wars, feasts and the rituals of various spiritual societies. 302 pages, indexed.
