Simply Living: The Spirit Of The Indigenous People (foreword By Brooke Medicine Eagle)

Author: Jones, Shirley Ann

Book Description
We all carry within us the ancient, tribal identity of indigenous people - people native to their lands. As technology continues to dominate and complicate modern life, many are striving to reclaim that tribal connection by living more simply. Editor Shirley Ann Jones adds a historical contribution to this field with Simply Living, gathering lore from ethnic groups on every continent to find possibilities for downsizing daily life.

This collection speaks about native wisdom based in villages and tribes, wisdom deriving from an awareness of basic human needs. Often funny and eccentric, the quotes offered here concentrate on essential truths, healing rituals, and practical strategies for living in harmony with nature, community, and self.

The author, Shirley A. Jones , October 11, 1999
Universal Truths That "Capture the Spirit" of All Peoples
SIMPLY LIVING: THE SPIRIT OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE helps you realize your fullness of being in two ways: 1) through "simply living" by being conscious of what is truly valuable in your life amid the excesses and bulk of materialism and technology 2) through "simply living" by going through life without a grand production of analysis, study, fretting and fussing, or grand-standing and posturing. Our original state, the one indigenous to us, is designed to be -- simple and natural.

The author, Shirley Ann Jones: shirannj@softcom.net , October 4, 1999
BASIC, UNIVERSAL TRUTHS expressed by over 240 ethnic groups
SIMPLY LIVING: THE SPIRIT OF THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE weaves a pattern of archetypes, of ancient identity, that -- simply lives in all of us. We all imagine stories, wonder about origins (the universe's, the world's, our own), come of age, seek to organize life into comprehensible terms, try to stay in touch with where we are going and who we are, and experience the myriad jubilations and pains of life on our paths. The "spirit of indigenous peoples" resides in all of us, an eternal reminder of our deep-down connections. In its second printing, SIMPLY LIVING: THE SPIRIT OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE helps us to connect with enduring values as we realize what we have a right to expect from one another: respect for our individuality and our diversity -- independent minds and hearts tuning, graciously, into an interrelated world. It is my pleasure, after three years of research, to present this comprehensive compilation, a world-wide web of original thoughts -- from original people.

From The Publisher
Readers striving for a simpler life in the age of technology can draw inspiration from quotes gathered from 240 ethnic groups, including native cultures following the path of their ancestors and aware of the natural world and basic human needs.
