Review # 1 was written on 2013-12-28 00:00:00 Dean Hoyer "Earthway" is full of remarkable and necessary information about the need for humanity to remember their connection to Gaia and live in harmony with their environment. The information provided is vast and full of wisdom and I enjoyed very much reading the book. There were, however, some ... inconsistencies? ... with some of the presentations of information. The diet advocated by No-Eyes, Mary Summer Rain's teacher, includes the eating of meat only from fish and fowl - no eating of anything with four legs. This is presented in such a way as to leave me, frankly, dumbfounded. Is the author trying to say that the native peoples didn't eat bison, deer, pronghorn, bear, etc.? Because that is just ridiculous. She also states that it is important to eat gelatin - which is made from hooves. So, don't eat the meat, but slaughter the animals for their hooves? That isn't the Native way, which was to use every bit of the creature they had killed and by doing so properly express their gratitude for the gift of that animal's life in order to sustain their own. Also, there is a long listing of dream interpretations - many of them make a great deal of sense, but there are also instances in which the perceptions of the dreamer aren't taken into account. Different people have different perceptions of the meaning of colours, for instance; or the meaning of snakes, insects, rodents ... personally, I don't see snakes as examples of "underhanded dealing," but of rebirth, renewal, rejuvenation. I don't see rats are harbingers of illness, but as examples of social connections and camaraderie. The author also states that there are many paths to God, but then makes the impression that the way she is recommending is the only one ... admittedly, that way is to look within, but still ... However, these are minor matters, overall, compared to the knowledge imparted in this book - I recommend it, but also recommend (based upon my confusion over certain matters) that it would be better to read the other books she has written first, which apparently give a great deal of background information needed in order to fully understand what is written here.
