Interestingly, the author was the student of Conrad Phillip Kottak, whose text Mirror for Humanity I also have and enjoyed. (Mirror was not organized in this way at all; different teaching philosophy.)
I love this quote, which opens the book:
Once you learn to discern the voice of Mother Culture humming in the background, telling her story over and over again to the people of your culture, you'll never stop being conscious of it.
