From the mountains of Wyoming, a river flows across Montana, scattering seeds along the way. Somewhere on the eastern plateau of the Great Northern Plains, the last of the seeds wash up onto the river bank. There, in a foreign habitat, they take root and grow into tall, white-barked trees crowned by yellow leaves. Indian legend calls it the Spirit Grove.

"Dr. Brown’s volume carefully describes the source of Abraham Maslow’s theory of self-actualization, which was based on observations of the Siksika (Blackfoot) tribe of northern Alberta. She elucidates the potential benefits of re-capturing and using the material Maslow interpreted worldview in a manner more congruent with the original Siksika world view, belief system, values, and practices. I am pleased that my people’s ancient truths have been captured and shared accurately." ~ Joseph Stone, psychologist This book will help heal the soul wound of Native f ...
