A timely book showing Native American harmony with the land

"We are in one nest" was a Taos Pueblo saying.In consultation with many Native Americans,Hughes has written a compelling book, examining the ways in which Native Americans have related to the land and other living creatures.They recognized that humans were a part of a greater, sacred, whole, and had the responsibilty to take care of all life forms.It is written in a very readable style, and explains many aspects of Indian life, such as hunting,food growing, and rituals.It shows how the land can be conserved instead of being plundered and destroyed.
