Harried Denver businesswoman, Jesse Harless, has had enough of the long hours and stress of her non-advancing job. Even her best friend and their forays into the glittering nightlife of the city cannot pull her out of this funk. A chance meeting with an old friend propels her into the mysteries of the Native American culture, where she is given an odd, yet special gift--an eight-week-old wolf pup she calls Shadow. Despite her friends' misgivings, Jesse gives up everything and moves to Montana where she hopes to give her wolf the freedom and life he deserves. Jesse enlists a company of new friends, including an angry young Native American and an ex-LA cop, who learn to love and do their best to protect Jesse, Shadow and his orphaned, misfit pack. Through her union with this cast of characters, Jesse is able to bond with the Ancients' reverence for Mother Earth and all the Creator's children, which leads to her own freedom as well.
The book not only provides an overview of the Huichol and the plight of Mesoamerican Indians but also sheds light on traditional religion, indigenous Catholicism, messianic cults, urbanization, and indigenous conflicts with the modern Mexican state."--BOOK JACKET.
Suppose you had scientific evidence that a soul—meant by God to be eternal—existed in man. Suppose you—and only you—knew that man had created a form of radiation that not only killed, but destroyed the soul as well. Concerned about mass disillusionment and hysteria, who could you tell? What would you do? Now suppose an Army officer, bent on making general and also fully knowledgeable about the radiation, intends to use it as a weapon. Aided by CIA-like operatives, he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. When he finds out you share his secret, what can you do? Thought provoking and controversial, Shadows is a metaphysical thriller. For protagonist Alex Feher it’s a dangerous, paradox-defying journey from the mysterious Black Mesa and the intrigue of Los Alamos, New Mexico, to Washington, D. C. and finally to the doors of the Pentagon. Shadows provides a theoretical but plausible model for the soul, offering rational explanations for phenomena such as ESP, out of body experiences, love at first sight, déjà vu sensations, and even reincarnation. An American Indian version of the soul, based on myth but consistent with the model, helps weave the fabric of the story.
From 1909 until the late 1920s, the Wetherill-Colville Guest Ranch in Kayenta, Arizona, was the primary stopover for writers, geologists, archeologists, adventurers, and tourists visiting Monument Valley and the Tsegi Canyon ruins. The artists who visited Kayenta during the early twentieth century included some of the most well known names in the American Southwest. See their paintings, illustrations, and photos of this beloved Southwest region. In addition, you will find full page guest registry entries illustrated by artists such as Maynard Dixon, William Robinson Leigh, James Swinnerton, Carl Oscar Borg, and Gunnar Widforss. The guest book serves as the archival record of those hardy individuals who ventured to the place that was, according to Dixon, "a long ways from anywhere, in any direction." Using over 390 enthralling illustrations and engaging text, this book explores the similarities and differences in the lives, artistic styles, and beliefs of the men and women who considered northern Arizona their favorite region.
