Nature's Way: Native Wisdom for Living in Balance with the Earth

For anyone who cherishes the Natural World, and the time-honored traditions of Native America, this is a book that sings forth from the heart of Gaia herself! In a time when American Ideals of Freedom, Co-Evolution and Planetary Survival are threatened, Ed McGaa emerges as a Practical Visionary. He provides us with a "shattering glimple of the obvious," regarding a shameful lack of responsibility for our individual Spirits, as well as for our our Planetary Homeworld...Mother Earth. McGaa bridges the worldviews between Redman and Whiteman, laying out the timeless truths which are embedded deeply both in Native American Tradition, and in the living fabric of the Global Biosphere itself. The Author leaves no stone unturned, and no truth untold as he reveals many facets of the Living Truths of what he calls "Natures Way" through a series of "Stories" which illustrate the perspectives and bahaviors of different animals...the lessons we can learn from them in their infinite wisdom and natural innocence, and how they each uniquely reflect the virtues and perfection of their Creator, and of the Intricate Web of Life on Earth. This is a powerful and moving book, elegant in its simplicity, yet profoundly moving in terms of Universal Truths. For anyone who cherishes the beauty and perfection of the Natural World, and understands that the Human Race is truly on the brink of "The Sixth Great Extinction," this book makes it painfully clear that to change the world, we must first change ourselves...in our Hearts, our Minds, and our Spirits. McGaa reminds us poignantly that, "The hard part of what it means to be interrelated to all things is that our neglect comes back full circle to affect us negatively as it affects other species. We are held accountable for our actions (or lack therof) toward the Earth, and even to generations yet unborn."

Mr. McGaa's (Eagle Man) views and criticisms are harsh, yet factual. He's a veteran of the Vietnam War where he was a USMC fighter pilot flying F-4 Phantoms. He holds a law degree and is an active author in promoting "Nature's Way". He has overcome many challenges and achieved much.However, in my opinion,this book is one of his greatest achievements. It serves as a reality check for modern day society. Almost to the point where it could serve as a blue print for our future societies.

A book I could not put down.....a book filled with so much important information.....a book which teaches us all the correct way to live....the only way to live...and that is to always respect Nature.I have read all of Ed McGaa's books...for me, this is his best.Buy it and CONNECT!

It's a great book. I enjoyed it so much, I got one for my dad for Christmas.

Required reading for my studies. Liked it.

Great book by a great author.

I like this book, but I think the title is a bit misleading. I was expecting a book on more traditional views, but what really came across was that this book is a soap-box for the author's stance on the environment (more or less). I completely agree with his points and still recommend the book highly, but if you're looking for a book that will teach you about the Nature Path, this really isn't it.

Beautifully written and informative, anyone looking to broaden insight on religious beliefs and customs of native peoples should read. A great perspective on environment and religion together.

This book is a must read ,the content is most enlightening and very interesting , would make one think . 'Natures Way, is the way to learn about living in harmony with all creation.
