Moving this back to the top as they say and adding a book to the list. I just finished Medicine of the Cherokee The Wayof Right Relationship by J.T. and Michael Garret of the Eastern Band of Cherokee. Other than touching base on herbal remedies, etc., they go over ceremonies and energy work practices used by the tribe since perhaps the beginning of time. For those who do crystal healing, Reiki, or have read V, you will definitely notice some paralells and for $14, I think it is a pretty awesome read, atleast worth checking out from your local library if you want to see a Native American perspective on it all.
I have already picked up thier other books. I think these are the best books I have seen on my path in a very long time.
