Chief Joseph RiverWind tells a tale of historical events, Christian theology and Native folklore to create a fascinating and thought-provoking treatise. Told in traditional storytelling fashion, Chief RiverWind weaves a captivating account of the Native American's relationship with Christianity and spirituality.
RiverWind felt compelled to write the book to help preserve some of the folklore and history that he had grown up with and to let people know that being Native and Christian were not exclusive of each other. “Betrayal, love, reconciliation, unity, sacrifice, joy, peace, history, the perseverance of the human spirit, and the longing for Creator to heal our land and broken hearts,” RiverWind says of his objective for the book. “The same longing is for our spirit to be uplifted from the only One who can give Hope in the face of utter defeat and despair. It is time for these stories to be shared with the world and for the prophecies to be listened to once again.”
