Description

Apela Colorado shares her knowledge and experiences of indigenous wisdom and promotes a connection between the indigenous and modern world perspectives. A ceremonial journey to reconnect with the essence of indigenous spirituality, and awaken to the beauty, power and potential of this wisdom in contemporary society. Apela Colorado, the inspirational authority on indigenous wisdom, works internationally to preserve the knowledge of indigenous elders from around the world. In this book, she will take you on a journey back in time to reconnect with her ancestors, open a door to indigenous wisdom and healing and reclaim a Creation story for the future. She shares her experiences as a Native American woman growing up in rural Wisconsin, who stepped out of her tribe to become one of the first Native American women to study at Harvard.

This powerful book contains a unique and magical glimpse into the minds of those elders and will inspire us all to reconnect more closely with our own ancestral wisdom.
