In American Indian Prophecies, Kurt Kaltreider PhD, has written a uniquely fascinating work that brings together indigenous American culture, values and spirituality as seen as through Indian prophecies, visions and dreams. This work comprises a series of fact-based conversations between two fictional characters: young John Pearson of the New England gentry and Chasing Deer, a Cheyenne/Lakota elder and keeper of the true history of the Americas. As the conversations unfold, the plight of contemporary Euro-American civilization becomes clear as it is contrasted with the rich tradition of the American Indian, bringing many interesting questions to light.

In times of social and spiritual decline, there arose among many American Indian cultures men and women who brought their people back to a life of spirit and right relationship. The first section of this book tells the stories of three of these great people: two heroes of flesh and bone and one heroine of spiritual origin. They give us hope that in times of disarray and despair, a culture can be turned around to walk a more wholesome path. The second section of this book offers stories from the Lakota that teach us the dire consequences in store for those who chose to live a life of self-centered pursuit. In all of them, we're reminded that only a life lived in integrity and service is a life worth living.
