"""NINJUTSU IS THE ANCIENT WAY OF INVISIBILITY. WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH THE STRANGE PROBLEMS AT YOUR FRIEND NADA?S AIKIDO DOJO? Ominous things are happening at the dojo of your good friend Nada ?powerful thunderstorms in the middle of dry season, objects that seem to move by themselves, piercing sounds coming from empty rooms. Nada traces it all to the arrival of a samurai sword from an anonymous benefactor. The sword has highly unusual and distinct carvings on its hilt. Nada feels the dojo is under attack and the sword has something to do with it. From nowhere appear five ninja, armed with swords, staffs, and blades. One of the ninjas draws his sword. With shock you realize that it is the sword from Nada's dojo! You meet his attack with aikido defense, grabbing the ninja's sword arm with your left hand. The sword flies off to your right. If you go for the sword, turn to page 18. If you go for the ninja, turn to page 108. YOU choose what happens next!"

Surviving in Two Worlds brings together the voices of twenty-six Native American leaders. The interviewees come from a variety of tribal backgrounds and include such national figures as Oren Lyons, Arvol Looking Horse, John Echohawk, William Demmert, Clifford Trafzer, Greg Sarris, and Roxanne Swentzell.

Their interviews are divided into five sections, grouped around the themes of tradition, history and politics, healing, education, and culture. They take readers into their lives, their dreams and fears, their philosophies and experiences, and show what they are doing to assure the survival of their peoples and cultures, as well as the earth as a whole. Their analyses of the past and present, and especially their counsels for the future, are timely and urgent.
