In reply to the discussion: Maya Wiley [View all]H2O Man
(73,323 posts)38. One of my favorite
books is by Steve Wall, titled "To Become a Human Being." Steve had co-authored "The Wisdom Keepers," with Harvey Arden, and then "Wisdom's Daughters" by himself. These were both conversations with Native American Elders. The last book focused on Steve's friendship with Tadodaho Leon Shenandoah, of the Haudenosaunee (Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy).
Leon was Onondaga Chief Paul Waterman's cousin. I knew him as "Uncle Leon." In Steve's book, Leon speaks of a level of consciousness that is available to all people -- though ignored by most. I think that Ms. Wiley inhabits that level.
