The Bear Tribe's Self-Reliance Book by Sun Bear, Wabun, & Niminosha - Paperback USED
Only 1 left in stockThe authors are members of the Bear Tribe Medicine Society located near Spokane, Wash. Sandwiched between mawkish poetry and tedious lessons on the philosophy of the tribe is practical advice for readers interested in exploring the back-to-nature movement. The book, originally published privately in 1977, discusses methods and resources for purchasing or otherwise obtaining the use of land, growing and preserving food, utilizing herbal medicines, skinning small animals and other skills necessary for success in a primitive, communal setting. Also required are hard work and a willingness to sacrifice many material comforts. The tribe stresses living in harmony with the environment and using nature's gifts with reverence. Except for one section, the authors emphasize the positive aspects of the tribe's way of life rather than dwelling on the ills of some members' previous lifestyles. The ways of the Bear Tribe may not be for everyone, but the volume is a sincere attempt to demonstrate the feasibility of a nurturant relationship with the earth.

From the birds that soar above us to the insincts beneath our feet, Bobby Lake-Thom shows how the creatures of the earth can aid us in healing and self-knowledge.

The first book of its kind, this practical and enlightening resource includes dozens of fashinating animal myths and legends, as well as exercises and activities that draw upon animal powers for guidance, healing, wisdom, and the expansion of spiritual influences in our lifes.
