The Knowledge Seeker: Embracing Indigenous Spirituality

by Blair Stonechild, Noel Starblanket (Foreword by)

Overview

"An essential book." Brian Rice, author of The Rotinonshonni and Seeing the World with Aboriginal Eyes "As more people ripen to understand the new world holocaust of our First Nations, Blair Stonechild's book is timely. To bring to light the spiritual relationships, attitudes, and practices of Indigenous people makes a real contribution to the world of thought." Buffy Sainte-Marie In The Knowledge Seeker, Blair Stonechild shares his sixty-year journey of learning-from residential school to PhD and beyond-while trying to find a place for Indigenous spirituality in the classroom. Encouraged by an Elder who insisted sacred information be written down, Stonechild explores the underlying philosophy of his people's teachings to demonstrate that Indigenous spirituality can speak to our urgent, contemporary concerns.
