THE SOUL OF THE INDIAN: AN INTERPRETATION

Shaun Taylor-Corbett's reverent performance creates an intimate and engaging listening environment. Eastman's original work, first published in the 1800s, remains as valuable as ever. The son of a Sioux, Eastman was the first Native American to be certified in Western medicine. His unique lived experience informs his work here. This short audiobook provides listeners with insight into the lives and hearts of Indigenous people, including the nature of the family circle and spiritual identity. He also captures how a Western framing of Native American people and their practices is misguided. Taylor-Corbett delivers the audiobook with gentle power, conveying the clarity of Eastman's writings. S.P.C. 2023 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2023, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2023]
