White Mocs on the Red Road / Walking Spirit in a Native Way
Paperback or Hard Cover, 178 pages
To begin to know spirit through the teachings of the ancients.
In a time of transition, one begins to look for answers about
living that seem to be missing in life. It seems as if the
fulfillment of the promise of the American dream is somehow
incomplete. One begins to look for something to fill in the
missing pieces. Noodin searched for that missing part and almost
literally stumbled on the first people of this land. As he began
to learn of their continued existence, they led him on an
extraordinary path of understanding. These people who he did not
even know still existed, continue to have the gifts of a
beautiful culture that respects all things. The goal for Noodin
then became to find those gifts.

I
strongly recommend this book to anyone who is
interested in knowing more about the First Peoples,
and specifically, the Ojibwe tribes of the upper
Great Lakes and Canada. There are many books out
there today which can give us an understanding of
life and cultures of the First Peoples. This book is
more multi-layered than most in its' approach to
helping us go deeper into their way of life, their
thought processes, their ceremonies and what the
ceremonies mean, and finally, what one must do in
order to truly follow and live on the Red Road. It's
one of those books that is so multi-layered that it
begs for many reads in order to appreciate all of
the messages. If you are looking to be told what to
do in your quest of spiritual understanding and
enlightenment, this book is not for you. If you are
looking for pointers and guidance, and hence be able
to decide for yourself what path to take, then this
book is a must read. Nice job Noodin, and Miigwich.
James Beard is a gifted writer
and storyteller. The reader is fortunate that the
author gifts you with a delightful journey through
the heartfelt changes in his life. It is easy to
read through this book quickly, however, there is
also value in periodicaly picking out short passages
for deeper insight and meaning. I have gifted this
book to many friends who were not disappointed.
