"... superb book of knowledge and story..." -Windsong Alden Blake, Chief of the Assonet Wampanoag

"a thoughtful, superlatively written book that makes a lot of sense....." -Judy Bass, Boston Herald

"a far-reaching book and a hopeful one."-Keene Sentinel

"wonderfully poetic manner... a book worth reading."-Odyssey

"...you will learn a lot from this Native American elder....His chapter on childraising should be required reading .... I have seldom encountered an author who so deeply and sympathetically understands human motivation."-Monadnock Ledger

"The appeal of this book is its lyrical simplicity.... recommended to those seeking a broader understanding of how modern Americans of Indian heritage are attempting to preserve their views of human nature and increase understanding about the place of humankind in the greater cosmos..."-New Press

"In Return to Creation, Medicine Story gives the reader a reserved, front-row seat at his council fire. These are the stories you might have heard if you had been following Medicine Story around the country for the past 20 years absorbing his teachings....There is plenty of cosmology and spiritual theory here, for those who are interested. But there are also more "practical" sections on subjects such as child-rearing, honoring elders, and the ways of men and women." -Convergence,


"...I decided I will call every book store in the greater Portland area and ask them to order it so that they will become aware of it, and I will rave about how wonderful it is so much that they will become curious and order more... I don't have many precious material possessions, but this is one of them...."-Pam Leo, Family Business
