The Soul Of The Indian (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419183065)

The Soul of the Indian is a book written by Charles Eastman, a Native American author and physician. The book is a collection of essays that explore the spiritual beliefs and practices of Native American tribes, particularly the Sioux. Eastman describes the Native American concept of the Great Spirit, the importance of nature and the natural world, and the role of dreams and visions in their spiritual lives. He also discusses the significance of rituals and ceremonies, such as the Sun Dance and the Pipe Ceremony, and the role of the medicine man or shaman in Native American culture. The book provides a unique insight into the spiritual beliefs and practices of Native American tribes, and sheds light on their deep connection to the natural world and the importance of living in harmony with it. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American culture and spirituality, and provides a fascinating glimpse into a way of life that is vastly different from the modern world.Long before I ever heard of Christ, or saw a white man, I had learned from an untutored woman the essence of morality. With the help of dear Nature herself, she taught me things simple but of mighty import. I knew God. I perceived what goodness is. I saw and loved what is really beautiful. Civilization has not taught me anything better!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
