Considered one of the best books on Native Americans ever written.
The author and compiler reveals how Indians once lived and what
they believed in relation to spiritual principles. As we move
further away from the time when Native Americans were living
completely free and unencumbered in what was to become the United
States, before the arrival of the white man, it becomes
increasingly difficult to preserve or remember the way of life that
they had. Seton preserves all of the most important information in
this book, gathered from the best sources at a time when it could
still be accurately found. Like other Bibles, it includes creation
stories and mythology as well as the trials and tribulations of the
people. Chapters include The Soul of the Red Man, covering
spiritual beliefs; The Ancient Way is about family life, laws and
medicine men; The Wisdom of the Old Men covers the ancient
teachings and myths; and Prophets of the Red Race shares stories on
13 different prophets, including Hiawatha, Tecumseh, Crazy Horse,
Sitting Bull, Wabasha, Geronimo and Wovoka. The Epilogue,
originally written shortly after the Great Depression, repeatedly
emphasizes the failures of the white race due to money-madness, and
how important it is to bring back an awareness that is not based so
heavily on materialism.
