"The writing gathered within the pages of Dreaming History has as its well-spring the songs, stories, and oratory which have been part of Native-American civilization for thousands of years. You will find these thoughts coming very much from an Earth house, in a true sense one of the original houses. The contemporary indigenous writers of these pages, along with their forebears, carry a special wisdom. This is the ability to see the extraordinary in the ordinary. They have learned to remain within the original oral, communal, power through their writings. With their sisters and brothers, they carry a long perspective in being familiar with the pathways of Mother Earth. This book is for the person who wishes to understand how the great native thoughts remain deeply and personally held in our present-day world"--Back cover.
