Indigenous healing : exploring traditional paths

Ross, Rupert 1946- (Author).

Summary: "Imagine a world in which people see themselves as embedded in the natural order, with ethical responsibilities not only toward one another, but also toward rocks, tree, water and all nature. Imagine seeing yourself not as a master of Creation, but as the most humble, dependent and vulnerable part."
