in-depth look at the spirituality of the Anasazi

This is a grand tale of the pueblo people of the Four Corners (my own country) a millenium ago, propelled by passion, lust for power, rivalry between peoples, and closely held secrets. It bristles with surprising and delightful historical detail, and gives us a meticulous picture of how these people lived. What made it most powerful for me, and unusual, is its portrait of the spirituality of the Anasazi, which defines their relationships to each other and to the universe. I was entranced to discover what it means to have the heart of a cloud.

Great book, stunning!

It was an amazinging book. Thats all I can say

Drift back in time and become part of The First People

I absolutely love this series! The stories are compiled with archaeological data and Native American creation stories. Each story is carefully woven with details of the villages and lifestyles, their spirtuality, and with the authors imagination, a powerful saga of what could have brought the destruction to the Anazasi. The story of Poor Singer, learning to be a spiritual singer, and Cornsilk, searching for the indentity of her real parents after her village is destroy, and their joining up on a quest to a village that may destroy one or both of them is just too fascinating to put down.

The Best So Far of a Great Series

I agree that this is an amazing book. It is the best of the series, I think. I've read them all except the last two, so we'll see what those are like. Anyway, it's a lot like the other first people books - competition for power and competition to maintain survival of a certain kind of people and their way of life. But this is more poignant because we know that this Pueblo civilization vanished with hardly a trace. They were a great and sophisticated nation but that didn't slow down their extinction. The book is a page-turner and I highly recommend it.

I'm going to Chaco

In People of the Silence, the Gears have done it again. Only better. Their attention to details is carefully woven into an epic who-done-it fiction that also includes brief references to People of the Wolf, Sea, Fire and River. My next vacation is to Chaco -- via Cahokia!
