This book is simple and profound. It started me on a path that helps me see the big pictue and still feel comfortable on the planet.

As we move through the history of the world, we are to find, that the Native People of the world are the most knowledgeable about human existence. What a great way to relate to the human life span on Earth, makes one want to make it the best it can be, for self, and for others! Thanks to the Bopps!

For all the people of the earth, the Creator has planted a sacred Tree, under which they may gather to find healing, power, wisdom and security. Its roots spread deeply into Mother Earth, its branches reach to Father Sky. Its fruits are the good things that our Creator has given to all peoples, the path to love, compassion, generosity, patience, wisdom, justice, courage, respect, humility and other great gifts.

The life of the Tree rests with life of the people, but if they forget to take its nourishment, many would grow sick at heart, lie, quarrel, and abuse the land, poisoning everything they touch. The people would be as in sleep, to awaken again to their search for the Tree, whose knowledge rests with the elders. I find this an especially calming and beautiful book for these terrible times.
