Part 1 of this book seeks to provide context for Cherokee stories and teachings of the natural world that will follow in the remaining chapters. It does this by way of more stories and some explanations. So far this has been a really enjoyable read. There are themes of beauty, virtue, and stories to explore what it means to be a whole human person.

The author had his readers in mind when he asked his elders to explain their view of nature and the three Cherokee worlds of cosmology - he wanted categories. But they all responded with different stories of their own experiences in nature. “They knew Unetlvnv uwotlvnv, what Creator made, not by the abstract term “nature” but by their lived relationships with their environments and the stories and teachings that had been passed down to them about the living world. It was the loss of these relationships that Hastings lamented in his writings”.
