A two-time winner of the Minnesota Book Award, Kent Nerburn is the author of thirteen books on spirituality and Native themes, including Chief Joseph and the Flight of the Nez Perce (featured on the History Channel), Neither Wolf Nor Dog, and The Wisdom of the Native Americans. He lives in Portland, OR.
Kent Nerburn speaks reverently of the bridge between our
Judeo-Christian tradition and the spiritual gifts of the Native
Americans. There is much healing to be had in our lives and for the
land by crossing this bridge.
Richard Rohr, bestselling author of Falling Upwards and The Divine
Dance
Kent Nerburn reminds us that in the timeless Native American ways
of seeing and being, the truth of life is not found in knowledge
but in something closer to prayer. Even today, amidst coffee shops,
graveyards, old cars, and cafeterias, the wisdom keepers Nerburn
follows in his sensitively told narratives still follow the voices
of stones, streams, and dreams, listening to the wind with open
ears and open hearts, not knowing where it will lead, or what they
will learn.
Evan Pritchard, director of the Center for Algonquin Culture and
author of No Word for Time and Bird Medicine
