Description
From Our Eyes redefines the place of indigenous philosophies and teachings. The aim of the book is to find spaces and places that have been forgotten in the pursuit of "truth." It beings with the question, "Is there such a thing as Native American philosophy?" and ends with an exploration of the traditional Medicine Wheel teachings, illustrating throughout the related problems of authenticity and authority.
