The Return of the Indian Spirit

Author(s):
A beautiful, authentic story

"In the middle of the tenth night the old hand touched him, and he rose trembling to go out into the darkness. He knew that this was the test for courage and he clenched his teeth, thinking of eyes in the bushes and furred bodies, of the poisoned teeth people, the rattlesnakes, and the shadows. 'Pray to the Spirit of all Life for protection,' said the old one. 'Remember the animals and the Indians are brothers. If your heart is good, nothing will harm you.' "

  • from the story 'Return of the Indian Spirit'

"This book is a comfortable portrayal of the soul of the Indian. It will serve Indians and non-Indians as a thoughtful reminder of the strength of Indian life and values. To young people particularly, it will serve as an inspiration for the future." - Ronald Libertus, Chippewa Indian and American Indian art historian.

"A beautiful, authentic story." - -Ernest Wabasha, hereditary chief, and direct descendent of the great Dakota Sioux Chief Wabasha (1718-1799)
