Healers on the Mountain
A unique characteristic of Native American medicine is the belief that each patient holds a different spirit, and that the healing can only work when it affects the individual spirit. Mythology is essential to this healing process. The belief stories within these pages reflect a culture that holds both poignant and alarming lessons. Readers of this book will discover the intriguing past and knowledge of Native American history and beliefs which are more enlightening than they may have previously realized. TERESA PIJOAN was raised as a young child on San Juan Pueblo Reservation in New Mexico by her Barcelona born father and her New York born mother. When Teresa was twelve years old, her family moved to Nambe Indian Reservation. She also spent several summers with her adopted aunt at Hopi. As a University of New Mexico at Valencia history professor, Teresa Pijoan, PhD, is an internationally acclaimed author, storyteller, and lecturer. She has won many awards for her teaching and her publications. Her other books from Sunstone Press are “American Indian Creation Myths,” “Pueblo Indian Wisdom,” “Ways of Indian Magic,” and “Dead Kachina Man.”
The Chief’s Court
Any society has highs and lows brought about by its own makers. When peace is in existence, everyone thrives, debts are freely given and paid back in love and happiness, social interaction is unlimited, until one of the members decides to become cheeky. He will abandon his responsibility to pay back a debt, fail to honour his promise to take care of his kin or lie that the land that he occupies was given to him by this forefathers. Once this happens, The Chief’s Court will come calling; a court made of elders whose mantra is justice to all and sundry. And such a fellow who breaches the rules of the clan will be taken through the justice process as instituted by the councils of The Chief’s Court. This is the glue which the society is bound with; the glue of Justice. The glue that is melted at the Chief’s Court and administered by the elders. The Chief’s Court is a story that reflects the effectiveness of traditional justice system and its ability to reinstate order in a society that has been encroached by dishonest characters. The story offers a panacea and an alternative to failing modern justice process.
