Medicine Woman by Lynn V. Andrews

Medicine Woman by Lynn V. Andrews begins her series of personal spiritual narratives. An encounter with the image of a rare basket sends her on a search that leads from an art gallery in Beverly Hills to Manitoba.

In Andrews’s telling, Agnes Whistling Elk and Ruby Plenty Chiefs guide her toward an initiation and a confrontation over a sacred marriage basket. The story joins a search for an object with her account of discovering feminine spiritual power.

This is Andrews’s own spiritual narrative, not independent verification of the events or a general authority on Cree beliefs and practices. This listing is for Medicine Woman, not the complete series. ISBN: 9781585425266.
