introspective of Native American values

I found this book while looking for material for a Native American literature/cultural unit. In a collection of aphorisms grouped by category (values, land and environment, women and men, etc.), it offers nuggets in the goldmine of Native American beliefs. Having read it, I feel I do better understand the values of Native Americans. The "voices" from the 1800s to today speak softly but eloquently of the need for harmony with nature, with each other. On a practical note, this book is great for busy people; I think it is best appreciated if read in small increments, taking time to think about what the "speaker" has said.
