Truth Be Told

This book is not just for those in the Native Community but all who have been separated from loved one's,and have suffered a great and tragic loss. Maybe the lost children of Ireland should take a look at this most provacative read. This book can be the turning point of understanding a loved one who is lost in his own soul. Wado

Grieving Indian

Good read that truly explains the feeling and root issues in the Indian/Native population.

A Must For Working With Native Americans

I've dealt with the Navajo people for 15 years. I've learned more about their culture in other books (Tony Hillerman is probably the best for that), but The Grieving Indian helped me understand how there can be such an undercurrent of sadness in even the very young. Excellent resource. It is NOT a novel, so it tends to have a bit of a text book dryness, but is well worth the read.

A "Must Have" Book for People Coping with Alcoholism, Grief

There is an Indian saying that goes, "Before you can understand a person, you need to walk a mile in his/her moccasins." The Grieving Indian is another example that verifies the truth of this saying. Arthur H., knows of what he speaks. As a Native American, he has walked in his "moccasins" and those of countless others, over very difficult and painful trails. A recovered alcoholic and long-time member of Alcoholics Anonymous, Arthur has much to share not only from his own experiences, but also from the experiences of others. As an alcohol counselor for over thirteen years he has helped many people deal, not only with the battles over alcohol, but also overcoming the grief which accompanies much of the behavioral results of alcohol. A facilitator of The Grieving Indian Seminars, Arthur has helped hundreds of people walk down the same path he has walked. A book every alcohol counselor needs. An excellent book to give to those grieving the loss of a family member or friend through some alcohol related tragedy.
