Travels in a Stone Canoe: The Return to the Wisdomkeepers

I study and I am honored to be a student under the wisdom of American Indian Elders who share their wisdom and stories that pertain to life. Harvey Arden is one who shares the stories of our Elders when he began his spirit journey. Although he is not American Indian, he has a mission to share from our Elders and does a wonderful job doing so.

What an amazing book! I actually had some synchronistic adventures while reading this book. It's powerful and has been one of my very favorite books since I first read it about 5 years ago. I've given it as gifts to friends it is so incredible.

This book is a must read for anyone who has read any of the works by Harvey Arden and/or Steve Wall! Extremely well-written and the chapters are in the first person of both authors. It is, I think, their best work that I have read so far. This is an honest, unpretentious, examination by the authors of their own journey connecting with the elders and the insights they offer. You will not be able to put it down; I read it in one afternoon without a break. I intend to re-read; it is that good.

These tweo white men are chosen to take a journy in life. This is not a come on along along and pack you bags. This is an inner and spiritual journey for these two men as much as it is a journey for the elders of different nations to accept and trust these men to some of the their most private thoughts and lives. a book well written and appericated that it shows The People as the caretakers that they are to the world.

A wonderful account of two men, a writer and a photographer, who become enveloped in a new consciousness; or more accurately an old one. I was up until the wee hours every night until I finished it. And each morning I found myself more aware of the Creator's presence in every stone,tree and being - an awareness and an awakeining that they are all following God's instructions. Thus, I was gently brought to the question: am I following the Creator's instruction? The "Origional Instructions" Harvey and Steve have passed on to me in this volume have helped me answer that question.
