Native American Wisdom. E-book. Formato EPUB. A book in which various well-known and lesser-known Native Americans talk about life from the indigenous perspective, their views on white people, and the problems of not respecting nature and other people in an ever-changing world.<br/><br/>The most essential part of the book is presentations of quotes by Geronimo, Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph, Gertrude S. Bonnin, Tecumseh and many others. The common denominator is a temperate view on life that can inspire people nowadays as the quotes are simply timeless.<br/>Again, the key part of the book is the quotes - or their own words. To make the reading experience more interesting there is also a short introductory essay, maps, biographies and many photographs and images. All this combined probably makes it the most thorough book of its kind.<br/><br/>And finally some food for thought:<br/><br/>"When the last tree is cut,<br/>the last fish is caught,<br/>and the last river is polluted;<br/>when to breathe the air is sickening,<br/>you will realize, too late,<br/>that wealth is not in bank accounts<br/>and that you cannot eat money."
