In the 1960s, Manitonquat (Medicine Story), a Wampanoag Elder, traveled among the First Nations in search of answers to why there was so much violence, separation and loneliness in the world. He brought his understandings and experience of living in community back to our New World and dedicated his life to bringing people closer to each other and themselves and Mother Earth.The old ways honored respect, connection, and ceremony. Across the world, communities once lived in circles, in balance with nature. These books keep that knowledge alive. Today, other values have taken root in our societies - often with painful consequences for life on Earth. Modern complexity and a relentless pursuit of growth at all cost have distanced us from our essence. Yet, as Manitonquat reminds us, a more human world is possible.The Circle Way offers practical tools and inspiration for creating circles, fostering projects, and building strong, compassionate communities - whether in relationships, families, or schools. Changing the World shares his vision of the simplicity and closeness of a healthy community, showing how we can thrive with Mother Earth, our source of life.With humor and clarity, Manitonquat takes us on a journey from the heartfelt dream of one man to a shared vision of a world transformed for the good of all.
