About

“The Bear Is My Father: Indigenous Wisdom of a Muscogee Creek Caretaker of Sacred Ways” is considered a love story between Bear Heart and a community that stretches across the globe. This book celebrates the life, teachings and legacy of Marcellus Bear Heart Williams, a Multi-Tribe Spiritual Leader and author of the critically-acclaimed “The Wind is My Mother.”

Bear Heart (1918-2008), was a Muscogee Creek Native American Church Road Man with a talent for seeing people as individuals, and for making them feel seen and special in their own ways. “The Bear Is My Father: Indigenous Wisdom of a Muscogee Creek Caretaker of Sacred Ways” contains the final words Bear Heart wrote before his "going on" as well as contributions from friends and family whose lives were forever changed by Bear Heart's presence and work. In this new book, Bear Heart uses stories of his youth and traditional medicine practices to convey lessons and knowledge about living in harmony and with respect for all.
