Overview
"I am humbled studying these thoughts of my sisters. Theirs is not a knowledge that changes with the whims of society but a wisdom that will forever move with the contents of the universe." Darryl Babe Wilson, author of The Morning the Sun Went Down Animal stories have been handed down through the rich oral traditions of over five hundred distinct American Indian languages and cultures, offering understanding about and guidance to the natural and social worlds. The fiction and poetry gathered in this collection honor these traditions, retelling and reshaping traditional narratives, by recalling their ancient wisdom and renewing their spirit in new contexts.ContributorsKateri Akiwenzie-Damm, Elizabeth C.
