"This invaluable exploration of mythic narratives helps us uncover our long-repressed values regarding the environment, society, and the spiritual world. Christopher Vecsey examines the Hopi myth of emergence and clan migration, the Ojibwa creation myth, the Iroquois myth of the Confederacy, the Navajo tradition of ritualized medicine, the pan-Indian myths of peyotism's origins, and a contemporary sweat lodge ceremony. The author finds at the heart of these myths a declaration of dependence: of the individual on the community, of the community on nature, and of nature on the powerful world of spirit."-- Back cover.
