Notă biografică
Archie Fire Lame Deer has joined the ranks of other spiritual leaders, such as the Dalai Lama, in the quest for world peace, while always remaining a traditional Sioux medicine man. He is the "kuwa kiyapi," or intercessor, for the yearly Lakota Sundance and is the official representative for the Sacred Buffalo Calf Pipe at Crow Dog Sundance. Richard Erdoes is the coauthor of "Lakota Woman, Lame Deer, Seeker of Visions," and "American Indian Myths and Legends," and author of "A.D. 1000: Living on the Brink of Apocalypse" and "A Sound of Flutes," as well as more than twenty other titles.
Recenzii
"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
Descriere
Archie's compelling narrative recaptures his boyhood years under the tutelage of his medicine-man grandfather on a South Dakota farm. We follow him from Catholic school runaway to Army misfit, from bartender to boozer, from Hollywood stuntman to chief rattlesnake catcher of the state of South Dakota. And we exult with him when he comes home to the world of spirit, which he describes with candor, magic and power.
