Much of the ancient knowledge that has been passed down from Native American Medicine men, or shamans, is in danger of being lost. Bobby Lake-Thom, a Native American healer known as Medicine Grizzly Bear, has sought to preserve this powerful heritage by sharing his wisdom and experience learning from the world around us. The result is "Spirits of the Earth", an extrodinary compilation of legends and rituals about nature's ever-present signs. From the birds that soar above us to the insects beneath our feet, Bobby Lake-Thom shows how these creatures of the earth can aid us in healing and self knowledge.
