Some stories need to be told because they preserve the link with previous generations. "Native Heart" is such a story - the deeply moving and instructive account of one man's sacred journey.

Inspired by the wisdom of his Uncle Nippawanock and the spirit of his godmother, Princess Red Wing, Gabriel Horn writes to preserve the true history of this land and to keep the spirit of his ancestors strong and enduring. "Native Heart" is the story of his life -a story of the sacred path, dreams and visions, native medicine, shadow people, and spiritual quests.

"Native Heart" is a celebration of the great heritage of the Native American people, and moves us to consider our own sacred path. With a sense of childhood yearning and wonder that has never waned, Grabriel Horn reflects upon his relationship with the Great Mystery, the stars, birds, trees, and Mother Earth.

He writes of his work as a teacher in the American Indian Movement Survival Schools, and of smoking the pipe and participating in other sacred rituals, he writes of his courtship and journey across America with his Ojibway wife, and of the ways they have found to keep American Indian values and faith alive in their children.
