Summary: Glorifying a white con man impersonator with bad writing
Review: "Swiftdeer's" real name is Harley Reagan, a blond white guy who sometimes impersonates being Cherokee and sometimes impersonates being Mayan. And some are dumb enough to fall for it. Some are also apparently dumb enough to believe that Eastern Mysticism is the same as Native American, that sex orgies are part of Cherokee beliefs, and that being a gun toting survivalist, pimp, and pervert extraordinaire are compatible with being an Indian medicine man...Some gullible New Agers and shame-on wannabes will still undoubtedly be dumb enough to throw their time, money, and even their lives away on this fraud, just like...Porsche Lynn did.

Summary: A Transformational Journey...
Review: This wonderful book tells the story of a man's journey to his awakening. From his childhood as a "half-breed" raised by both white and Cherokee kin, loved and nurtured by his remarkable Cherokee grandmother; through his hellish experience in Vietnam, to his awakening as the Shaman and healer he is today -- this book was gripping and transformational for this reader. I was sorry it came to an end.
