Modern civilization has no understanding of sacred matters. Everything is backwards.

Words alone are inadequate to express spiritual realities. This book expresses the Red Indian spirit because it combines the best photographs ever taken of the old-time chiefs with some of their best words. You can meet these old-timers and share their wisdom. People who read this book will better understand our sacred ways.

The manner with which we walk through life is each man's most important responsibility, and we should remember this with every new sunrise.

But one should pray in one's heart during a sacred ceremony; this is the purpose of the ceremony, to purify the participants both inside and outside.

Prayer is the best answer to all of the trials that face us, because without prayer, even if we succeed in accomplishing some great goal in the eyes of men, we have failed in our sacred responsibilities, and thus we have failed in what is truly important.

A vision could put you on a path you don't want to follow.

In our modern world today, we may seem like drowning men because of the loss of much of our spiritual tradition.
