The Knowledge Seeker: Embracing Indigenous Spirituality

by Blair Stonechild

In The Knowledge Seeker, Blair Stonechild shares his sixty-year journey of learning-from residential school to PhD and beyond-while trying to find a place for Indigenous spirituality in the classroom. Encouraged by an Elder who insisted sacred information be written down, Stonechild explores the underlying philosophy of his people's teachings to demonstrate that Indigenous spirituality can speak to our urgent, contemporary concerns.

[Roberta Morris · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was excellent. The title and subtitle aren't actually misleading but within a culture that romanticizes rather than respects indigenous teachings, it is hard to get beyond the images that 'seeker' and 'embracing' suggest to take this author and this subject as seriously as they certainly deserve.

Don't judge this book by this cover/title. This is an excellent resource.

A well written and very important book on Indigenous spirituality.
