A Gift
I've always had the fantasy of becoming an apprentice to a gifted Native American medicine woman--that is until reading "American Indian Healing Arts" by E. Barrie Kavasch and Karen Baar, when my fantasy became a reality. This book is rich with history, accurate herbal information, great medicinal recipes presented in an easy to follow format. "American Indian Healing Arts" is wonderfully reflective of Native American spiritual practices especially in its attention to rites of passage and stages of life. The tender manner with which the information is presented is welcoming, encouraging, inclusive and heartwarming--bound to lead many an apprentice down the path of pursuing greater understanding of Native American medicine.

A great read, although not very practical
This book has beautiful artwork both inside and out. What I liked the most were the different prayers and rituals that are described in rich detail. I found that if you do not have direct knowledge of herbs and how to identify and obtain them, that this book will not be of much use to you.
