Native American Animal Legends
Hardcover
$9.95
Traditional Native American stories have often been used to share wisdom and teach lessons on how to live in harmony with the earth. Many of them include animals revered by the tribes -- wolf, bear, eagle, deer, and buffalo.
To Native Americans, every stone, every plant and every animal was a teacher -- a respected equal whose unique traits provided a model for human behavior.
There were lessons to be learned from all wildlife -- to be passed down from generation to generation through stories. Stories such as the ones gathered here, in Wisdom Warrior.
For more than 20 years, Dennis (Denny) Olson has been a student of the natural world. His teachers have included deer, wolves, mice and others who have taught him to step outside of himself and see life from a different perspective.
Olson has a Master of Science degree in zoology/geology from the University of Minnesota at Duluth and has been a staff member at the Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute in Wisconsin.
