Description:
Moving backwards into the future, Four Arrows uses Sitting Bull's words to begin a transformative journey for the reader in behalf of future generations.
Using the meta-cognitive dehypnotizing strategy he calls the "CAT-FAWN Connection," Four Arrows combines scientific information, clinical knowledge and Indigenous wisdom.
"An extraordinary way to access Indigenous worldview. Four Arrows uses contextualized statements from Sitting Bull to understand a way of thinking that can help with our own survival and healing."-Cristina Gallego, award-winning Colombian filmmaker, Director of Birds of Passage, Embrace of the Serpent
"This book packs a lot of wisdom into a small package. Four Arrows creatively outlines the key tenets of an integral Indigenous worldview that highlights for all of us who hope to move beyond today's crises how we might leave a better world for our grandchildren."- Sandra Waddock, Galligan Chair of Strategy, Boston College Carroll School of Management. Author of Intellectual Shamans
