Songs of the Earth : A Timeless Collection of Native-American Wisdom

This collection of Native American quotations, songs, and poems is paired in a handsome, high-quality art book with the classic photographs of Edward S.

Curtis. Convinced he was witnessing an irreversible loss of their cultures, Curtis began traveling the West in the 1890 to photograph members of various tribes.

His striking images are a perfect complement to profound observations from Lone Man, Chief Seattle, Mourning Dove, Geronimo, and other wise men and women of the Pawnee, Oglala Sioux, Paiute, Wabanaki Algonquin, and Ojibwa.
