Drawing from ancestral knowledge, as well as her experience as an attorney and activist, Sherri Mitchell addresses some of the most crucial issues of our day, such as environ-mental protection and human rights. For those seeking change, she offers a set of cultural values that will preserve our collective survival for future generations. As she says, “Women are the water-bearers of the universe,” and a non-patriarchal view of culture is necessary for the survival of all people. Embracing traditional core cultural values teaches us that “the Earth Mother, and all life that lives upon her, has the same right to live as we do. There is a place within creation for all things, and all life holds equal value.”

Sacred Instructions is “a roadmap for those who may be lost—and not even realize it. Sherri Mitchell’s hauntingly beautiful prose truly honors the traditional Native American wisdom that she shares with us as readers. She deftly makes the timeless suddenly modern again, and more relevant than ever, by using ancient perspectives to address the disconnect and disengagement that so many people feel in the world today.”   –D.J. Vanas (Odawa Nation), Author of The Tiny Warrior: A Path to Personal Discovery & Achievement
