Breath of Life

by George Catlin

George Catlin, renowned American artist, dedicated years of his life immersing himself in the lives of the Plains Indians during the 1830s. Through his artistic endeavors, he documented their way of life, capturing their traditions, customs, and unique perspectives. While captivated by their vibrant culture, Catlin also observed a remarkable aspect of their health and well-being that stood in stark contrast to the practices of 'civilized' societies. This book delves into Catlin's personal observations and insights, exploring the Native Americans' practices, their deep understanding of nature, and their holistic approach to health. He examines how their harmonious relationship with the environment and their traditional practices contributed to their remarkable physical and spiritual well-being.
