Nancy Rubin Stuart
“The aborigines were a source of wonder and amusement to be alternately fed, clothed, teased, educated, and petted.”
Nancy Rubin Stuart, Isabella of Castile: The First Renaissance Queen

Kenneth Meadows
“The Indian regarded the human being as a 'divine mortal', or a 'divine physical being'. Indeed, I have had it explained to me that the prefix "hu" in some tongues meant 'divine', and "man" of course, is mortal. So a human being is a divine mortal being - a dual being existing in the realms of both spirit and matter; one spiritual, the other physical; one eternal, the other temporal.”
Kenneth Meadows, Earth Medicine: Revealing Hidden Teachings of the Native American Medicine Wheel
