Locker's dramatic landscape paintings complement ancient legends of places sacred to Native Americans. An uncle recounts to his nephew ten stories from the Seven Directions -- North, South, East, West, Above, Below and Within -- to evoke the beauty of the places and the wisdom of the teachings. A North American map of the original Native nations and a pronunciation guide of the tribes and regions of the legends are included.
