Williams intertwines the lore and lifeways of his Tuscarora upbringing, illustrating the dynamic encounter of tradition and innovation at the heart of contemporary Haudenosaunee culture. At the same time, Williams writes with an irreverence, irony, and good humor unmistakably his own.Colored by Ted's wry and irreverent wit, \u003ci\u003eBig Medicine from Six Nations\u003c\/i\u003e amply fulfills the promise of its title. It offers a fascinating view, not only of herbal medicine, but of prayers, omens, feasts, vision quests, sweat lodges, spirits, humor, and the sacred teachings of the Great Law of the Great Peace. But readers will find that there is more to this book, about the \"spiritual mechanics\" of humankind writ large.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe son of a Turtle Clan sachem chief and respected medicine man, \u003cb\u003eTed Williams\u003c\/b\u003e grew up on the Tuscarora Indian Reservation near Niagara Falls, New York, in the 1930s and l940s.
