Native American Wisdom

A Spiritual Tradition at One with Nature




An anthology of inspirational writings from Native Americans.

An inspiring anthology of prose, poetry and ancestral wisdom from members of 40 Native American tribes, organized alphabetically from Anishinaabeg to Zuni

Although there are major differences in the lifestyles of the numerous Native American nations, they share fundamental beliefs. The spiritual wisdom of these people is based on a love and reverence for Nature, a belief in a Supreme Being and a spirit world that interacts with human activity.

Organized in alphabetical order and grouped around the main Native American Nations from Apache to Zuni, including the Sioux, Eskimo, Cherokee and many more, the evocative words that Alan Jacobs has selected from all the major tribes express the love and respect they feel for their environment and our place within it.

"Subtitled `A Spiritual Traditional at One with Nature', this is yet another beautiful collection of poems from the mystical anthologist, Alan Jacobs, whose `Poetry for the Spirit' is already a modern-day classic." - An Amazon reviewer
