Great Speeches by Native Americans (Dover Thrift Editions)
$2.50
I love the Dover Thrift Editions - they are so affordable and comprise truly great classics of literature. I have been slowly collecting the series and "Great Speeches by Native Americans" is one of my favorites in the series. It contains about 82 speeches that cover approximately five centuries of history of the encounters between Native Americans and non-indigenous peoples.

The collection of speeches here range from emotionally stirring speeches by great leaders of the Native Americans such as Red Cloud's "The Great Spirit Made Us Both" in 1870 and Sitting Bull's "The Life My People Want is a Life of Freedom" in 1882, to lesser known orators and even unnamed ones. Each speech is preceded by the context in which it was given, which provides valuable historical insight in and of itself.

This is a must-read volume that will provide insights into the Native American culture and history. It should also be required reading in schools.

Spirits of the Earth: A Guide to Native American Nature Symbols, Stories, and Ceremonies
$18.00
This book was not what I expected. I thought there would be more ceremony ideas and alot of the stories were negative and fear based. There were a few useful pieces of information. The cover is beautiful.

The Wisdom of the Native Americans
$17.95
This book made me wish I had paid more attention to the teaching of both my grand-mother and mother. The wisdom of the Native Americans are far beyond what we can many times put into words. This book help to bring back many of the conversations that my grand-mother and mother had with me when I was growning up. I so wished I had paid more attention to their first hand teachings.

Native American Wolfwalker Braided Sweetgrass Sterling Silver Band Ring Size 9(Size 5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15)
$19.98
I bought this ring for my girlfriend as a gift. She loves the look of it. I thought it would be wider though. The problem though is that She's had it for only a day and it stained her finger green like copper does. She has a few other sterling silver rings and none of them stain her fingers colors.
