One summer long ago there was no game, and the people were starving. Then a beautiful young woman appeared. She initiated the Indians into the way of the sacred pipe and taught them the value of the buffalo. Before she departed, she promised to return someday to purify the world and restore it to its proper balance. Then she changed into a white buffalo. Drawing on several versions of the Lakota Sioux legend of White Buffalo Calf Woman as well as from his own experiences in the Sun Dance lodge and his vision quests, Heyoka Merrifield offers a deeply moving narration of life an ceremony on the plains, richly interwoven with Native American and other mythic traditions. Eyes of Wisdom is a return to the natural environment, and this book imparts a connection to the ceremony of a culture hidden by time. The first volume of a trilogy, Eyes of Wisdom celebrates the sacredness of nature and the return of a culture hidden by time.
