“Walking Spirit in a Native Way: White Mocs on the Red Road” by James B. Beard is a truly unique and insightful read. Through the voice of James, also known as Noodin, the author shares his transformative spiritual journey under the guidance of an elder from the Ojibwe tribe.
In this book, Noodin recounts his years of learning from Misho, a wise Native elder. During one of their early conversations, Misho asked him, โWho are you?โ to which Noodin replied, โI am just a man.โ This simple yet profound exchange sparked deep introspection in Noodin, setting him on a path of self-discovery and spiritual growth.
As he reflects on his life, Noodin shares how his faith in Christianity began to waver, leading him toward a more spiritual path. Under Mishoโs mentorship, he embraced teachings rooted in Indigenous wisdom. One of Mishoโs memorable lessons was: โSome things are shown to us that reveal the truth in time. Spirit knows what we need in order to walk our walk.โ
The book also explores the Seven Grandfather Teachings, offering readers timeless guidance for living with balance and integrity. Overall, itโs an engaging and thought-provoking read. Iโm glad to have come across itโthe authorโs storytelling is heartfelt, and his writing style is clear, smooth, and deeply resonant. Readers are glad to discover the trajectory of native/non-native relations.
