Sweet fragrance of the land, herds and roots and medicines long lost to the general populace, are nonetheless as present as they always have been. We have been so taken with miracle cures, these things have been put away as folklore and not dependable. The simple people at one time had no other alternative - so runs the present day popular notion.
Hard-fought battles over who is to pay for the miricle medicines - and we are grateful for most of them - may turn a venturesome soul back to the soil and back to those that heal a mind and body without being asked for proof of insurance. But one other thing far too ignored is the power of prayer. No Indian is remiss in blessing his body and his soul and spirit because he knows they work together. His prayer is not now and again but regular and potent.
The lack of respect for growing, living things soon led to lack of respect for humans too.
