by Edward Benton Banai.

I firmly believe it is time for Indian people to come forward with teachings, prophecies and insight. It is time to talk with our Brothers and Sisters of other nations, colors and beliefs. The world family is at a time when ideas and philosophies of yesterday may be the key to the family future." Ages 8-14, 114 pages.
