"This book is an introduction - a very sketchy introduction - to Matriarchy. The Indian way of life is very misunderstood, and has almost disappeared from the Earth. This book is a partial collection of everything I've come to know from my people - from my ancestors, from people who were born free, from my relatives, and from my own experiences...as well as from other Indian Nations in the Western Hemisphere who all shared the same world view."-- Foreword.
