With eloquent simplicity, Native American medicine man Bear Heart demonstrates how traditional tribal wisdom can help us maintain spiritual and physical health in today's world.

"As a child I was taught, 'Chebon, the way to attain the beauty in life is through harmony. Be in harmony with all things, but most important, be in harmony with yourself first. A lot will go on in your life, some good, some bad--people may argue and some will try to take control of your life--but that one word, harmony, will neutralize any problems and help your life to become beautiful.'"--from The Wind is My Mother

"A compelling and important work...Bear Heart is a gifted storyteller--readers of all backgrounds will be inspired by his lessons of how to apply traditional Native American wisdom to maintain balance in today's world...Bear Heart's is a truthful, honest voice which has let us into his world, and our world is better for it."--Body, Mind, Spirit
