REVIEW BY WENDY STOKES
Picture
Anglo-Settlers, colonizers, and the dominant culture oppressed the Native Peoples of the Americas, and  Indigenous spirituality, language, ceremonies, fashions, rituals, songs, handicrafts and traditions that were handed down through the generations were outlawed.  Now, when First Nations  and Native Americans try to research and recover their valuable heritage, they often find it has been badly imitated and distorted by white people, without asking permission for what is Indigenous intellectual property, owned by Indigenous people and given to them by their own Ancestors!  To currently take the wisdom of these sophisticated Indigenous societies for personal gain, only repeats past colonial abuses. Cultural appropriation lifts cultural and spiritual property from Indigenous groups who were cruelly treated for generations, and this is a violation, as well as ignorant and destructive. First Nations are saying, "Find your own ancestral traditions - don't adopt ours!"
Ancient Spirit Rising describes the spirituality of Turtle Island, and how the values of Indigenous societies can be a role model for all people, without appropriation or identity theft. Living in harmony; humility and respect for the planet, each other and other species; and creating a sustainable future; is imperative and possible for today's world.

Pegi Eyers is a cultural visionary who challenges worldviews, and tells us a paradigm shift is required to recover ancestral wisdom and traditions, to honor our Ancestors, live in wisdom and health, and save other species and our planet's health.
