Personally, I loved all of these stories. They are
so full of passion and so well told that it drags you into their world and at
some moments it even makes you think that this place is almost unreal. It is
unthinkable today to even be slightly as close to that reality as people were
back in the days.
Native Americans really were different and it is
ironic to think that society rules only worsen this planet hence rules are what
keep the world going. Back then, people were free to be whoever they wanted to
be. Imagine living in a world free of racial discrimination, prejudice, social
differences, free of the white supremacy, no gender inequalities. The Pueblo,
this magical place sounds so surreal but learning now that it existed a long
time ago makes you sad about Our reality Today.
What I valued
the most about this short book were the soul filling moments. It is so rare
today to find someone, let alone a whole city or community that gives so much
importance to the beauty of the soul and the behavior and in one’s
relationships with other living beings. It is hurtful to read about people who
found peace with animals and plants in the mountains just because other people wouldn’t
accept them.
In respective to the treatments they had towards
each other there were no differences between the genders. “Because the Creator
is female, there is no stigma on being female; gender is not used to control
behavior. No job was a man’s job or a woman’s job; the most able person did the
work.” It is amazing to see that kind of perspective back than which today fails
massively.
Nevertheless as the author says: :In this universe,
there is no absolute good or absolute bad; there are only balances and
harmonies that ebb and flow.” And I really hope we can all think and feel that
way one day towards each-other.
