Watch the movies made by Native Americans to expand your understanding of their culture.

Crazy Horse
Geronimo
Tecumseh

And read a little known work written by one who LIVED among them for 25 years!

He Walked The Americas by L. Taylor Hanson

Read the book written by Chief Dan George of the Hopi "The Hopi Survival Kit"

Do that ..... and you will have a far greater understanding and more important .... RESPECT for Native Life, Mother Earth, and the Divine Spirit~

In hunting gathering cultures, people get food, shelter and clothing. directly from their immediate environment. Thus they had a direct deep spiritual connection to nature.

Movie:

Dreamkeeper by Hallmark

Book:

Seven Arrows by H. Storm

Would anyone know if "The Book of the Hopi" would be a good one to read as well? I seem to be finding that one every time I turn around, and if it wants to be read that badly, I think I will have to...

To me it seems like a sign that it might be the right one for you to read. In reality I have no idea whether it's a good book or not. If it's not too expensive buy it. If you don't gamble, you won't win.
