Synopsis

Once you get off the reservations, most Americans have no idea of the beauty and transformational power of a Medicine Man running a Sweat Lodge. Northern Paiute shamanic healing practices were kept secret for countless thousands of years until Evelyn Eaton and Roy Day revealed them for the first time. Ostensibly written as an anthropology thesis about the effects of Christianity on traditional Northern Paiute ritual practices, this book is really the story of Grandfather Raymond Stone, Grandmother Eve Eaton, spiritual healing, and Roy's personal journey as he was trained to be a shaman.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

This paper is presented as a work of social science investigating shamanic ritual and changes of shamanic ritual in relation to cultural conflict and change. Fundamentally this is a story about people, a human drama whose main characters came from radically different cultural backgrounds to find and tread the path of the shaman. R. E. Day Jr met Eve Eaton in 1976 which started a lifelong study of Metis Shamanism. Most of the people mentioned in this book have passed on, luckily the knowledge didn't go with them. After 35 years of secrecy, the vast power and deep mystery of the Northern Paiute healing ritual can be divulged
