“In many ways a culmination of Schuon’s lifework . . . Affords surprising insights that pepper this book and that can startle the reader into new understandings.” —Parabola
“One of the most philosophic and religious studies of the Plains Indians in print.”

Here is a message of Truth, Holiness and human grandeur, harboring within itself something mysterious and sacred which it expresses with profound originality.
