Kurt Kaltreider has written a uniquely fascinating work that brings together indigenous American culture, values, and spirituality as seen through Indian prophecies, visions and dreams.
This work comprises a series of fact-based conversations between two fictional characters: young John Pearson of the New England gentry; and Chasing Deer, a Cheyenne/Lakota elder and keeper of the true history of the Americas. As the conversations unfold, the plight of contemporary Euro-American civilization becomes clear as it is contrasted with the rich tradition of the American Indian, bringing many interesting questions to light.
Why was Indian society essentially crime free? Why did their government system work in such a just manner? Why did Indians live longer and healthier lives? Andy why were Indians unaffected by stress, depression and neurosis, which are so prevalent in Western society?
Some of the prophecies in this book say that only a Great Purification will allow for positive change; other visions are more optimistic. Whatever the case, there is no doubt that our world is on the brink of great change. 'American Indian Prophecies' offers clarification and solutions for many of the ills that afflict our society and, most important, hope for a better future.
