"In "Gift of Power", Archie Fire Lame Deer continues in the wonderful tradition of life-filled, wise, and humorous teachings established in "Lame Deer, Seeker of Visions" by his father, the Lakota medicine man John Fire, with the expert assistance of Richard Erdoes, who has also organized and edited the present volume." --Peter Matthiessen, author of In the Spirit of Crazy Horse and Indian Country
