A fascinating walk on the Red Road

As a white woman on the Red Road, I found this book to be a wonderful and accurate description of the spiritual walk we can discover when we value the traditions and teachings of our Native American Brothers and sisters. All those who walk this road are blessed and they feel connected to all that is. This is a must read for anyone curious about the experience of Native traditions.

Dr. Kaltreider uses a unique technique detailing a conversation between a college aged anglo and a Cheyenne/Lakota elder to share insights of Native American culture as compared to European-American perspectives. The ideas outlined in this book will take on greater significance as the growing human population impacts upon our natural world and its limited resources.

Beautiful, important book

This is a wonderful compilation of facts and wisdom of Native American tribes. It is also a compelling story in itself. Highly recommended.

This book is a must for anyone with sincere interest in the native american history and culture. The book is written in a form of a dialog and reads very well. It speaks very openly and in a lot of detail of the wrong doings by Europeans to the Native American and Indians all the way from Canada to South America. As an European of the 21st century it makes me very ashamed of what is in our past, even though surely I am not responsible for what our ancestors did...what has happened to the Native Americans is tragic and even though we were taught about this at school much more emphasis was put on the Nazi holocaust for example. But the nature of the "whites" as described in this book does explain a lot about what has happened and why and it also helps to shed light on the opinions of Native Americans on all of this in very true and honest manner. This book is full of wisdom, compassion, heart opening accounts and I well and truly can recommend it to anyone who wants to grow as a person and who wants to make sure that no such things happen in the future (not just to the native Americans, but violence in general). This books is an eye opener and a teacher and I am very surprised to see so few reviews and by the fact that this books has not become a bestseller on the Native American "topic".
