Description

Walking within the Sacred Manner is an exploration of the myths and culture of the Plains Indians, for whom the on a regular basis and the spiritual are intertwined and women play a strong and vital role within the spiritual and non secular life of the community.
According to extensive first-person interviews by an established expert on Plains Indian women, Walking within the Sacred Manner is a singular and authentic record of the participation of women within the sacred traditions of Northern Plains tribes, including Lakota, Cheyenne, Crow, and Assiniboine.
Through interviews with holy women and the families of women healers, Mark St. Pierre and Tilda Long Soldier paint a wealthy and varied portrait of a society and its traditions. Stereotypical images of the Native American drop away as the voices, dreams, and experiences of these women (both healers and healed) present insight into a culture about which little is known. This is a journey into the past, an exploration of the current, and a view stuffed with hope for the longer term.
