Inside Cover:

We first heard MariJo Moore's stories and poems around the campfire. Very much in the American Indian oral tradition, they should be read aloud. They will touch your heart.

MariJo Moore's Returning to the Homeland might be described as an experience of reconciling two worlds, the heritage of two cultures. her care for the Cherokee beliefs and way of life she discovers is deeply felt and often expressed in fresh and moving images.

In Returning to the Homeland, the voice of MariJo Moore emerges out of the essence of spirit. It is a voice that reminds us we are the sum total of our past.
