Great book - but what are the sources?
I had been looking for a book like this for some time and was so pleased to finally find a compilation of native stories about women's power. Unfortunately, this book does not identify the origin or source of the stories (other than naming a tribe). With so many questionable nu-age "native" books out there, it is important to know the authenticity of these stories. It would help to know where the author gathered the various stories -- whether she interviewed elders, researched older documents, or some other method.
