In The Soul of the Indian, Eastman brings to life the rich spirituality and morality of the Native Americans as…
they existed before contact with missionaries and other whites. This is a rare firsthand expression of native religion, without the filters imposed by translators or anthropologists. Rather than a scientific treatise, Eastman has written a book, "as true as I can make it to my childhood teaching and ancestral ideals, but from the human, not the ethnological standpoint." His discussions of the forms of ceremonial and symbolic worship, the unwritten scriptures, and the spirit world emphasize the universal quality and personal appeal of Native American religion. Adult.

se couche et que la Lune ainsi que les étoiles brillent déjà à la fenêtre. Le logement se plonge tout à coup dans la noirceur et la fillette entend ainsi ses voisins se plaindre qu'il y a une panne d'électricité. Même si la vaisselle et les devoirs ne sont pas complétés, son papa propose de prendre l'erhu et l'accordéon et de faire un petit concert au jardin. La douce musique attirera bientôt tous les résidents du bâtiment, qui délaisseront leurs peurs pour profiter dans la bonne humeur d'une danse d'été. [SDM
