By Kenneth Cohen. Cohen has crafted a comprehensive yet accessible compilation of the theory and practice of Native American medicine. This thoughtful reference provides comprehensive and authoritative information on indigenous American healing traditions and addresses the important issue of how non-Indian people can respectfully learn from their historical forebears in North America. An excellent section on values and principles precedes discussion of such practices as sweat lodges, pipes, and the use of herbs, including tobacco. Extensive appendixes and resource lists supplement the wealth of information in the main text. Softcover; 464 pages.
