Big Medicine from Six Nations is a series of reminiscences and
essays by the late Ted Williams on the themes of ""medicine""
(physical/spiritual/psychic healing). Williams intertwines the lore
and lifeways of his Tuscarora upbringing, illustrating the dynamic
encounter of tradition and innovation at the heart of contemporary
Haudenosaunee culture. At the same time, he writes with an
irreverence, irony, and good humor unmistakably his own. Colored by
his wry wit, ""Big Medicine from Six Nations"" amply fulfills the
promise of its title. It offers a fascinating view not only of
herbal medicine but also of prayers, omens, feasts, vision quests,
sweat lodges, spirits, and the sacred teachings of the Great Law of
the Great Peace. But readers will find that there is more to this
book about the ""spiritual mechanics"" of humankind writ large.
