Quest for Harmony provides a basic understanding of the cultures
and spiritual teachings of four Native American nations--Lenape
(Delaware), Ani'-Yun'-wiya (Cherokee), Lakota (Sioux), and Dine
(Navajo). The text is always sympathetic, respectful, and, when
possible, presented in the voices of Native Americans. Each nation
is described in terms of its name, traditional location(s), present
population, language, and traditional social organization. At least
one story of origin is provided for each nation, followed by a
survey of its history from earliest documented times until recent
times. At the heart of each chapter, the spiritual worldview and
rituals of the nation being discussed are introduced, with sections
on cosmology, gods and spirits, rituals, and other issues
particular to that nation. Critical issues common to Native
Americans such as the pannational spiritual movements and the
environment are also covered. Quest for Harmony makes clear that
not only are Native American spiritual traditions very much alive,
they are also in the midst of a dramatic revival.
