Rediscovery: ancient pathways, new directions

Summary: For nearly 20 years, the rediscovery program has drawn from the timeless wisdom of Native elders. Youth of all ages and backgrounds are inspired to discover and respect the world within themselves, the cultural worlds between each other, and the natural world around them. This book reflects the contributions of more than thirty different Native cultures represented in the rediscovery circle of wilderness camps. This expanded edition includes more than 150 activities based on the spirit of sharing and caring, communicating with other cultures, and connecting with our natural environment. Schools and youth groups everywhere will be able to use these activities when they gather to reacquaint themselves with their place in nature.
