From page 14: “No matter what methodology the researcher uses, the transmission of ideas from one culture to another is always limited by his or her language. There is an element of fiction when a foreign culture is translated into an English narrative.”

From page 5: Intro: Multi-disciplinary Studies

“By Multi-Disciplinary studies, I mean books that are based primarily on research from a variety of disciplines rather than on personal experience.”

Consider the phenomenological approach “which presents only the facts.”

“The major weakness of such text-based approaches is that they tend to give the mistaken impression that Native American medicine is frozen in the past, a museum relic, a subject for historic scholarship, or a quaint reminder of where humanity has been. There is little attention paid to it as a LIVING SYSTEM, no sense of the modern practice, and relevance of Native American healing, or of the important dialogue that is occurring between Indian (Native American) culture and science.”
