Heartfelt Gift

This book is a generous telling of Tela Starhawk Lake's life and training. She shares so much of her personal experience that it is at times painful to read. Very informative about the obstacles to continuing traditional Native practices in a modern world, and her profound determination to continue because of or in spite of those obstacles.

Freaky owls, activism, and triumph over negativity

Since i am a Northwest transplant and OBSESSED with native american spirituality i was siked to read this book by a Yurok medicine woman. She gives some sorely needed insight into women's moontime ceremonies, herbs (ANGELICA!), and the meaning of some friendly and foelike animal spirits all over the country. Since i already fell in love with Sioux medicine people, my heart sang when she told of meeting Lame Deer and others, participating in a Sundance, and recieving full healing the Lakota way. I ate this book up.

Hawk woman dancing with the moon was great !

I liked Hawk woman dancing with the moon a lot , because it tells you a lot about indian culture and also gives practical instructions if you're interested in moon-ceremonies , for example . Tela Star Hawk Lake talks about her own life (how she became a shaman , different ceremonies , her family ,...) , the life as an indian today and hundreds of years ago , her tribe and tells legends . All in all , I can really recommend this book to anyone that is interested in indian culture ! It's novel and informative book at the same time .
