Song of the Track: You are a tracker - a good tracker. You use your tracking skills every day. You're just not aware of it. When you 'keep track' of things, when you go shopping, and when you try to recall where you put something, you are using your innate tracking skills. "If that's so, then why am I not able to track Animals out in the Wild?" Many will ask me. There's only one thing that's keeping you from being a good Animal tracker. No, it's not some special training course you could take. Or some secrets that Native trackers possess that only if you had you could track just as well as them, and no, the answer is not in this book. It is in you. The stories in this book will help to connect you with the tracker you already are, they will call out to your dormant intuitive abilities and your innate skills which have grown dormant from lack of use. You will then join with the People in these stories - People like you who yearn to track the way your Ancestors once did. You will walk with them on the trails of the Animals, and you will feel the tracker inside you come alive. Then, the next time you take a walk on the wild side of life, you will see and hear and feel in a deeper way, a way that will connect you with the Song of the Track. Tentative Publishing Date: late 2006 Parents do not have to buy into the business of parenting; children are fully capable of raising themselves. All we have to do is step back and allow it to happen. This book gives a new look at this old way of raising children - the way of our ancestors and other native people. It is based on the belief that children are already fully actualized individuals, complete with inner wisdom and a connectedness with their own destinies. Its methods are guidance and support rather than the steer-and-control approach that is prevalent in this day. Its results are nothing but miraculous - self-fulfilled, happy and socially conscious individuals.

Tentative Publishing Date: Winter 2007 Becoming the Shadow: A guardian is one who recognizes that he or she is not only one. She seems not to live for herself because she sees herself in all life. When it appears that she does not care for herself it is because she is caring equally for all - she is a person for all people. He is ready at any moment to leave everything he knows. He has no boundaries of family or nation because to him family and nation include all the relations. She has no faith, no beliefs, because she believes in all the people. She trusts in no one person but in the goodness of all people. She needs nothing because she is of everything. He has no fear because he has nothing to lose. When he serves it may appear that he does not care if he lives or dies because he sees his life everywhere and he sees his death bringing only life. Some call him Scout, many would call him Warrior, and still others know him as Protector. To Native people he is Guardian. He is the manifestation of their courage, selflessness and desire to serve. He can be male or female, old or young. He is invisible, alert and detached. He is sentry, wayfinder, messenger, ambassador, sleuth, defender, provider and brother. His presence gives peace of mind to his people so that they can comfortably pursue their day's activities and rest peacefully at night. In this day the Guardian is needed again by his people, perhaps like never before. This book will guide you to where he can be found. You may be surprised at how close to your heart he lives.
