    About this ebook

    This original compilation--a small treasure--offers a concise and contemporary compendium of some key North American (Turtle Island) wisdom teachings, offered to help support people through this era of transition.

    "I ask you to listen,
    not just with your minds.
    I ask you to listen with your hearts,
    because that's the only way
    you can receive what it is,
    what we are giving.
    These are the teachings of our hearts."
     - Frank Decontie, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg

    What do some of the deeply rooted and venerable wisdom teachings of the Americas offer in our era of transition?

    This Soul*Sparks small treasure offers an array of thoughtful messages, a compilation of keys that everyone has opportunities to turn. We'd be wise to understand and then to weave their enduring insights into the fabric of what we are creating for ourselves, our children, and our children’s children

    The words of contemporary elders, in particular, are tinged with a note of urgency.

    Author

    Steven McFadden

    I've been an independent writer since 1975 when I graduated from journalism school at Boston University. Since then I've been happily involved with my life's work writing, and consulting. Over the years I've authored hundreds of newspaper and magazine articles, blog posts, and over a dozen nonfiction books.It's my honor to have served as the author of an epic, nonfiction saga of contemporary America, Odyssey of the 8th Fire. It's freely available online at www.8thfire.net Odyssey of the 8th Fire is the true, epic saga of a historic pilgrimage for the earth across North America by people of all colors and faiths under the Sky Sign of the Whirling Rainbow. The 8th Fire arises from the deepest roots of our land. In it, circles upon circles, elders make a great and generous giveaway of the teachings they carry.The titles I have listed on Smashwords arise out of the Soul*Sparks publishing venture in which I partner with my wife, Elizabeth Wolf.As of 2019, I'm designating Chiron Communications, my umbrella publishing venture, as the publisher for the book I've recently finished writing, "Deep Agroecology: Farms, Food, and Our Future." The eBook version will be available here on Smashwords.Peace and good cheer, Steven

      This ebook is created and licensed for your reading and enjoyment. I offer it for trade because it is the result of my experience and my labor, and I require reciprocity to live. If you are moved to buy the book, that's great. If you are moved to make a giveaway of this ebook to yourself or others, follow your heart. Ultimately, the words on these pages belong to the people who spoke them. Those elders -- living and in spirit -- wanted people to hear their messages. That's what this little book is all about: making some key Native Knowings accessible at a time of transition.
