内容简介

In these ancient stories, illustrated using traditional designs and colors by world-renowned artist Paul Goble, the life of the Native American people is vividly expressed anew. All Our Relatives (mitakuye oyasin), a frequently repeated phrase in Lakota ceremonies suggests the interdependence of created things, and because all Plains Indian tribes viewed nature as a manifestation of the Creator, this book paints a compelling portrait of the spiritual life of these nomadic peoples. For more than forty years, Paul Goble has attended Plains Indian ceremonies, sat around tribal campfires, and known some of the last remaining tribal elders. His intimate knowledge of their way of life transports the reader to the world of sacred beauty and wisdom which defined traditional Native America.
