Soul Would Have No Rainbow If the Eyes Had No Tears and Other Native American PR

The beautiful thing about this book (other than the title), is each little proverb is very short and easy to read. Each message is simply stated and followed by the name of the Native American nation it came from. I found it to be warm, visual and thought provoking in its emphasis of high values, spirituality and natural connections. This is a true gem that should be shared with all family members and friends.

Wonderful for Calligraphers because the sentences are short ones. Great inspirational quotes to pen!

A thoughtful collection of Native American proverbs that gives pause to consider the meanings of life and important values. We can learn much from these old proverbs. It is interesting how some of them have similar counterparts in other cultures and ethnic groups, including the white man's! For example, "It takes a whole village to raise a child." Where have we heard this recently? Where did it actually originate? Who knows, but there is a similar Native American proverb in this interesting book. Each has the tribe of origin listed below it. A wonderful springboard for discussion and thought, and basis for research on the Internet on Native Americans. Use selected proverbs in my teaching.

This book contains the wisdom of many Native American tribes. Through these reading we find meaning to some of lifes mysteries.
