"Learn from the wisdom of the ancient ones how to live a happier and more harmonious life with this inspiring book. Explore the history, secrets, and rituals that make the Algonquian people 'Masters of Friendship'. Practice the traditional principles of sharing, consensus building, and awareness of our place in the natural world. Use the traditional handmade beaded medicine bag that comes with this book as the Algonquian people did: to carry and share power items like stones, shells, and feathers, or in rituals to honor and respect the natural world."

The book comes with the beaded medicine bag. You fill it with your own medicine items based on what you learn from the book. Beautiful illustrations and maps. Would be an interesting home school project for an older child, or a nice introduction to native culture for someone of Algonquian descent.
