This poem records the testimony of a shaman from the nomadic people of Northern Siberia, and then tells a Russian folk tale derived from their animistic, shamanic world view. The indigenous voice tells of the struggle with the land for survival, the need to preserve traditional ways, the need to survive predation amid surrounding cultures, and the need to leave a permanent mark, Like a notch in the surface of heaven Or the flight of a bird when it is gone.

This book provides a basic resource for understanding how the shamanic world view is a spiritual resource for sustainable living.
