This book explains "lost aspects" of Cherokee traditions and how they relate to modern bush crafting. Such skills are taught to the younger members of the Cherokee Nation by the few elders who know them. Growing fewer by each generation more interested in modern technology and modern life. In this way many Native Americans, not just the Cherokee, are losing those traditions and that knowledge.
So this book is written to both preserve that ;little knowledge that I have, and to show that even in the 21st Century it has a purpose. I have Cherokee blood in my veins, with Irish, Scotts-Irish and Roma. I have to make peace with being of both in part the descendent of the conquerors and the conquered, or as the Cherokee who had family on the Trail of Tears call those involved "The Betrayers and the Betrayed."
On the cover is the last great Cherokee Warrior-Chief Oconostota, which is regarded as the greatest Warrior-Chief of the Cherokee people (no relation that I am aware of).
