Before the time of books, computers, tablets and recording devices, the history of many cultures was passed down, from person to person, by word of mouth. The rich histories of so many people were told in songs, chants, poems and stories. This was the way of Native American tribes. Each in its own way enriching their stories with their own experiences. By reliving these stories and songs, we have the opportunity to bring life back to the ancient spirits that created them. We have a chance to walk with the spirits of the past.  Being there were so many different tribes with countless beliefs and customs, the only way to understand their ways is through understanding their stories. In this book you will understand the Native American people a little better and see where they have come from and what they can offer the world. By exploring these stories offered you will get a glimpse into an often forgotten past. These stories are given to you, to carry forward for younger generations to explore and learn.

In 1971, Galway Kinnell asked us to turn to our poetry as to a source of life still unpolluted by the Catch-22 rhetoric of four American administrations. In 1984, at the present "end" of the linguistic continuum we are examining, Tess Gallagher reminds us of the need to properly grieve over our losses: the loss of life, the shocks ot the psyche, the solitary condition of the soul. They both know, as William Carlos Williams knew, that it was in the poem that we might be able to find the news we were looking for. --Paul Mariani and George E. Murphy, Jr. Donated by Wendy Larsen.
