Legends, Shadows And Dreams

About the Book

Many years ago, Black Elk, the Oglala Sioux medicine man, had a vision of a time of peace and unity among all peoples. Many spiritual leaders, from many different traditions have also had visions of peace and harmony with the Earth. Black Elk’s vision had been pondered and cherished by many. The Spiritual Unity of the Tribes Gatherings have been a fulfillment of this vision Beginning in 1989, the Gatherings have rested on a foundation of spiritual compassion, tolerance, and equality. They have offered hope for the enlightened future that Black Elk envisioned. The first set of poetry in this book came from my experiences at the Spiritual Unity of the Tribes gathering in the Village of Tanacross, Alaska.
