Big Medicine From Six Nations (Hardcover)

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.
