{"product_id":"talking-trees-spirit-trails-carl-andrew-koehler-9781491013236","title":"Talking Trees \u0026 Spirit Trails: New York State Native American Trail Trees","description":"So-called \"Talking Trees\" are culturally-modified trees which were used by the First Nations of the United States and Canada, to indicate pathways, water sources, and safe or sacred places; like \"exit signs\" on woodland highways. These hardwood trees were culturally-modified as saplings to grow into unique shapes as landscape markers by Woodland Native American cultures. The author has found more than 20 of these \"living artifacts\" in his native New York State. Using dendrochronology and cartography methods coupled with historical data, the author has found that several of these trees are truly old enough to be ancient \"living artifacts\". Interspersed with his anthro-biological research are engaging stories from the author's outdoor adventures; and spirit teachings taught by the trees to their adopted guardian, He-finds-trees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carl Andrew Koehler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1491013230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781491013236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Carl Andrew Koehler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43936197345535,"sku":"9781491013236","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_27e6ab00-3ef3-4a7f-925d-a2fd54ac38ce.jpg?v=1681424153","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/talking-trees-spirit-trails-carl-andrew-koehler-9781491013236","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
