"There is no death. Only a change of worlds." -Chief Seattle
[Seatlh], Suquamish Chief What do people do when their civilization
is invaded? Indigenous people have been faced with disease, war,
broken promises, and forced assimilation. Despite crushing losses
and insurmountable challenges, they formed new nations from the
remnants of old ones, they adopted new ideas and built on them,
they fought back, and they kept their cultures alive. When the only
possible "victory" was survival, they survived. In this brilliant
follow up to Turtle Island, esteemed academic Eldon Yellowhorn and
award-winning author Kathy Lowinger team up again, this time to
tell the stories of what Indigenous people did when invaders
arrived on their homelands. What the Eagle Sees shares accounts of
the people, places, and events that have mattered in Indigenous
history from a vastly under-represented perspective-an Indigenous
viewpoint.
From healing to astronomy to our connection to the natural world,
the lessons from Indigenous knowledge inform our learning and
practices today. How do knowledge systems get passed down over
generations? Through the knowledge inherited from their Elders and
ancestors, Indigenous Peoples throughout North America have
observed, practiced, experimented, and interacted with plants,
animals, the sky, and the waters over millennia. Knowledge keepers
have shared their wisdom with younger people through oral history,
stories, ceremonies, and records that took many forms. In Sky
Wolf's Call, award-winning author team of Eldon Yellowhorn and
Kathy Lowinger reveal how Indigenous knowledge comes from centuries
of practices, experiences, and ideas gathered by people who have a
long history with the natural world. Indigenous knowledge is
explored through the use of fire and water, the acquisition of
food, the study of astronomy, and healing practices.
