Buffalo Woman Comes Singing

December 1, 1991
Medicine Eagle, raised on a Crow reservation in Montana, here elucidates a procedure of spiritual growth for women complete with exercises and instructions. The core of the process follows Native American religious philosophy, but includes layers of astrology, numerology, pop psychology, and mysticism. The author relates her own spiritual journey in detailed scenes reminiscent of Carlos Castaneda. The purpose of spiritual growth is to prepare oneself for the coming new time in which all peoples and creatures will become connected in an unprecedented manner. Women, the author believes, will play a crucial role in this planetary transition. Essential for Native American collections, while feminists and New Agers will also find something of interest here.-- Bruce Alan Hanson, Wayzata East Junior High Sch. Lib., Minn.
