Judy Stern explores the psyche of natives more deeply than current authors according to a famous respected Lakota spiritual author. Refreshing, private stories will haunt you: A blood sacrifice Sun Dance at Fools Crow's; a wilderness vision quest - three amazing days - no food or water; art and history dialogues at the University of St. Thomas and in local cafes with her student, Allison. Why don't Anglos say Mother Earth? What is progress? Sacrifice? Suffering? Evil? Reason? Where is spiritualism in Manifest Destiny? Answers lie in maternal paradigms. Unlikely comparisons surprise us: Job/Black Elk; Gilgamesh/Red Cloud; Christian laws/Ojibwe values; Lakota/Mormons; Plato, Aristotle, Locke, Jefferson/Iroquois. Judy's artful writing reflects her fashion design talent. By combining light-hearted narrative conversation, stern opinion essays and research, she skillfully weaves a composition akin to a tapestry rich in vibrant colors, textures and patterns.
