Back Cover Copy
"Anyone who is willing to live the life I have led can do the things I do." -Fools Crow
"You have to understand the goodness of Chief Frank Fools Crow in order to understand what the American Indian is really all about. Grandpa Fools Crow possessed a dignity that you no longer see in America. Grandpa possessed every quality that the American Indian people of these great lands once held." -from the foreword by Russell Means, Oglala Lakota Patriot
"I knew the old Ceremonial Chief of the Teton Sioux well, having been in six annual sun dances all led by Chief Fools Crow. Other ceremonies I also served as his helper. Mails portrays the spirit and intellect of the powerful holy man quite well." - Ed McGaa, Eagle Man, Oglala, author of Mother Earth Spirituality and Rainbow Tribe
Over a period of years beginning in 1974, author Thomas E. Mails met many times with the remarkable Sioux holy man Frank Fools Crow, and was entrusted with the powerful, transformative and healing teachings of this important leader. Fools Crow healed and touched many lives, and continues to do so in this cherished classic of Native American spirituality.
This new edition of Fools Crow: Wisdom and Power includes additional photos of Fools Crow (some previously unpublished), an afterword with an overview of the great teacher's Seven Ways of Healing, and a foreword by Russell Means.
Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Fools Crow: Wisdom and Power (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book, and I recommend it to anyone thatwants to understand the late great Holy man Frank Foolscrow (TheCeremonial Chief of the Teton Sioux). I give Mr. Mails high praisefor including the two following comments in the book. 1. Page 40"I have never touched alcohol or drugs; I have not even usedpeyote like they do in the Native American Church. Wakan-Tanka cantake me higher than any drug ever could." 2. Page 160 "Ifeel it is dangerous for amateurs to recommend something about whichthey know very little and I do not wish to be the cause of effectsthat might be disastrous." I agree completely! Just becauseherbs are natural does not mean they are safe. I have one tinynitpick. When Mr. Mails described the Sioux medicine wheel on pages59-60 the information is incorrect. Here are the correct colors anddirections they are associated with. Black in the West andrepresents Earth. White in the North and represents Air. Red inthe East and represents Fire. Yellow in the South and representsWater .... Wah doh Ogedoda
