Description
A unique anthology featuring a collection of writings by Native American women. Almost 90 examples of songs, poetry, prose, prayer, narrative, and oral history describe their everyday environment, the earth's past beauty and harmony, marriages and children, their roots and tribal history. Part 1 focuses on songs, prayers, and rituals that were a part of the life cycle of the various tribes. Part 2 represents the women poets and prose writers of the twentieth century who have been inspired by the literature and lore of the indigenous world, but who have come to terms with the white man's desecration of their land and culture.--Back cover.
