"One summer in the ""1980s,"" theoretical physicist F. David Peat went to the Blackfoot Sun Dance ceremony in ""Alberta,"" Canada. Having spent all his life steeped in linear Western ""science,"" he was entranced by the Native world view and began to explore it in greater depth. In this edifying synthesis of ""anthropology,"" ""history,"" ""metaphysics,"" cosmology and quantum ""theory,"" Peat compares the ""medicines,"" ""myths,"" ""languages,"" and realities of two ""peoples,"" revealing an amazing convergence between Indigenous teachings and the insights of modern science."
