I reviewed Garth Stein’s Raven Stole the Moon on Tuesday and I am very excited to host a giveaway of this book today. Sarah from Terra Communications graciously is making this giveaway copy available to one of my readers. Thank you so much, Sarah!
One of the most interesting aspects of this novel was the background on the spirituality of Alaska’s Tlingit people. Raven, for whom the book is titled, is an important figure. The kushtaka were granted special powers by Raven and their role is this novel is the most chilling. To enter this contest, leave a comment here telling me if you’ve read much about the spirituality of indigenous people. If so, what has been your favorite story?

I recently read Sometimes We’re Always Real Same-Same which was set in Alaska and did discuss some of the spirituality of the indigenous people.

My only exposure to others’ spirituality has been glimpses into Native American rituals, etc. I admire the deep connections to nature itself.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I’ve read several books about indigenous people and their beliefs. I find them fascinating, one of my favorites is “And She Was” by Cindy Dyson, a novel thats set in the Aleutian Islands (Alaska). Here are a couple others I’ve read and found to be interesting:
Child of the Jungle by Sabine Kuegler (West Papua, Indonesia
Nine Hills to Nambonkaha by Sarah Erdman (Cote d’lvoire, West Africa
Swimming in the Congo by Margaret Meyers (Boonda, Africa
Don’t Sleep, There Are Snakes by Daniel Everett (Brazil)
Happy Reading! Please add my name to the giveaway, I’d love to read this book. Thank you!

I haven’t read much about the spirituality of indigenous people but I did recently read a book about indigenous people in the Caribbean.

I don’t believe I’ve ever read a book about a spirituality of indigenous people. But I sure hope I can!
I took a class in college called American Indian Philosophy. It was very interesting, but I haven’t read much since – I would love to dive into that subject matter again!
I have not read about the spirituality of indigenous people. But would love to know more. I work as a social worker and enjoy reading about many different cultures and topics.
I haven’t read any about the spirituality of indigenous people. But I would really like to read this book. Please enter me. Thanks!
