A refreshing read about spirituality and wisdom from native elders. Ideals that have been passed from generation to generation and are still highly relevant. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. This compilation of indigenous wisdom from many different tribes and Nations across the Americas is a compelling read. Although some quotes are taken from historical figures, the vast majority of the wisdom is from elders and knowledge-bearers alive today or recently. Contemporary people are quoted at length about ecological matters, the issue of climate change, as well as the definition of sacredness, and the commonalities that all humankind share. This compilation is beautifully rendered and builds to a fantastic culmination. I found it almost uncanny that indigenous peoples were sounding the alarm about anthropogenic climate change in the 1990s and were likely speaking out against ecological damage for centuries prior. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. Definitely several themes theme running through Native Knowings. Due to most of the quotes being short I found I read a few a day. I enjoyed the longer ‘speeches. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I was given a free copy of "Native Knowings" via LibraryThings.
