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, Williams writes with an
irreverence, irony, and good humor unmistakably his own. Colored by
Ted's wry and irreverent wit, Big Medicine from Six Nations amply
fulfills the promise of its title. It offers a fascinating view,
not only of herbal medicine, but of prayers, omens, feasts, vision
quests, sweat lodges, spirits, humor, 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. Readers will discover herein a multiplicity of Big
Medicine manifestations, and best of all they will get to know more
about Ted Williams, Teller.
