"The Bear Is My Father is a celebration of the life, teachings, and legacy of Marcellus Bear Heart Williams. It follows the critically-acclaimed book, The Wind Is My Mother, which has been translated into 14 languages today. Globally renowned, Bear Heart was one of the last traditionally trained medicine persons of the Muscogee Creek Nation. Weaving together the knowledge of many traditions, Bear Heart was an ordained American Baptist Minister, Road Chief, and renowned spiritual counselor. Speaking in 13 Native American tribal languages, Bear Heart was considered a Multi-Tribal Spiritual Leader and was called upon internationally for his healing work. The Bear Is My Father contains the final words Bear Heart wrote before his "going on," with contributions from friends and family whose lives had been forever changed by his presence and work. It is co-authored by Reginah WaterSpirit, Bear Heart's Medicine Helper and wife of 23 years. When Reginah would ask Bear Heart exactly how he made his medicine, he always answered, "I don't make the medicine, it was here before me. I've been entrusted to be a caretaker of certain sacred ways.""-- No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

…. So this book is Native ecumenism, for me, which is different from simply being both Native and Christian. It’s possible to be Native, and authentically so or however you want to say it, without being consciously, explicitly ecumenism-like, you know. Some Native people are simply Christian people who practice faith in Jesus and simple living, and also come from diverse Indigenous backgrounds, you know. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But since in this book we have a guy who’s both Christian and explicitly talking about Native American Christian ways, and being a specifically Creek Nation Christian as an explicitly central thing, it’s clearly Native ecumenism and not the different path of something more of a generalist, you know.
