Product Description
Product Description
Cajete examines the multiple levels of meaning that inform Native astronomy, cosmology, psychology, agriculture, and the healing arts. Unlike the western scientific method, native thinking does not isolate an object or phenomenon in order to understand it, but perceives it in terms of relationship. An understanding of the relationships that bind together natural forces and all forms of life has been fundamental to the ability of indigenous peoples to live for millennia in spiritual and physical harmony with the land. It is clear that the first peoples offer perspectives that can help us work toward solutions at this time of global environmental crisis.

Took Awhile to Sink In, Jun 19 2009
By Flip K "orbital39" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Native Science: Natural Laws of Interdependence (Paperback)
After I first read this - and the prose is not exactly a smooth read (but trying to communicate another "perspective" in the language of a framework that lacks such perspective is a challenging task indeed!) - one part of me wanted to toss it away, another part, the part which recognized wisdom, guided my hand to my bookshelf, whereupon this gem laid until its meanings penetrated my mind's barriers, several YEARS LATER. Patience! Read first without judgement, put it aside,(in a safe place), let your subconscious chew on it for awhile, and insight will emerge.

Native Science: Natural Laws of Interdependence, July 17 2008
By Cherel M. Whitehawk - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Native Science: Natural Laws of Interdependence (Paperback)
Native Science: Natural Laws of Interdependence This is a must read book for anyone that is interested in understanding our true Native Peoples sciences and universal connection, it is must read.I am a writer and after 50 plus years of living in the way of tradition, receive knowledge from elders, along with research and finding the energy, behavior, physics, sciences, spiritual/universal connections, I can say my research into the knowingness, I can honestly say the knowledge elders and awareness, taught, experienced and learned spans more than 350 years, and still of all the books I have come across, I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS THE GREATEST INFORMATIVE book I have read that comes to awaken people to true reality, remember truth is truth and reality in a balance of universal truths.
It helps people get an honest insight and understand the deeper relationship the Native peoples for we lived and had strong working connections with the universe on so many levels and the Sacred Father.
Truth: I have not come across any items, sections or theories, in his book I disagree with, but rather I have to say his book is real. He has the background and experience that in turns helps others to comprehend, experience and live the concepts of eye opening enlightenment in his book. [To answer your question I do not know this person, and knew nothing of him until I purchased his book. I saw it picked it up and have a hard time putting it down. I am on my second read.]
I recommend before you read anything else, related to Spirituality or Native people religions you should read this book for it opens mind and spirit to a vast new and exciting awareness to enable one to have a working relationship. I agree 99.9 % with everything he has in his writing. Being Native and raised traditional, I can say finally, a book that says welcome we are and were so much more than the practitioner of occult dark arts, savages, ignorant, voodoo doctor, many were Professors, teachers, psychologist, etc. Our culture was so much more advanced than Western Cultures could or wanted to understand.
Please, if you read nothing else this year, read this book it is an eye opener.
