Book excerpt: Once you get off the reservations, most Americans have no idea of the beauty and transformational power of a Medicine Man running a Sweat Lodge. Northern Paiute shamanic healing practices were kept secret for countless thousands of years until Evelyn Eaton and Roy Day revealed them for the first time. Ostensibly written as an anthropology thesis about the effects of Christianity on traditional Northern Paiute ritual practices, this book is really the story of Grandfather Raymond Stone, Grandmother Eve Eaton, spiritual healing, and Roy's personal journey as he was trained to be a shaman.
