American Indian Qualities

Frithjof Schuon speaks about the qualities he admires in the American Indian culture and spirituality. Schuon (1907-1998) was a philosopher, author, artist, and poet. He frequently wrote about American Indian religion, culture, and society. Many of his paintings also portray the world of the American Indians of the pre-reservation days, always with an emphasis on capturing the Presence of the Great Spirit in the people, their lifeways, their art, and their place in Nature.
