- Summary:
- Evan Pritchard, a descendant of the Algonquins, explores Algonquin myth, history, and philosophy from a personal perspective. Pritchard's work is based on the oral tradition passed on to him by his Micmac Algonquin elders and spiritual teachers. The book, which began when Pritchard taught a seminar at Columbia University on spiritual poetry, brings to life the poetic Algonquin culture, in which there is no word for time, in which language and practice emphasize wholeness and the sacred in all things.
