Mitakuye Oyasin: We Are All Related

By Ehanamani (Dr. A.C. Ross)

A profound exploration of Native American spirituality and its universal connections. Winner of the 1992 “Top 50” Recognition Award at the Frankfurt International Book Fair, Mitakuye Oyasin is a spiritual and cultural “roots” narrative that bridges Indigenous wisdom with global philosophies and religious traditions.

Book Synopsis

Drawing from the oral histories of 34 Native American tribes, Dr. A.C. Ross—known by his Dakota name, Ehanamani—offers a compelling comparison between Indigenous myths and the world’s major belief systems.
