Author Kathleen DuVal argues that it was Indians rather than European would-be colonizers who were more often able to determine the form and content of the relations between the two groups. Along the banks of the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers, far from Paris, Madrid, and London, European colonialism met neither accommodation nor resistance but incorporation. Placing Indians at the center of the story, DuVal shows both their diversity and our contemporary tendency to exaggerate the influence of Europeans in places far from their centers of power.

Our human life consists of our body, mind, and awareness. These are the three dimensions of our life. Our sense of self begins with our body but increasingly shifts to our mind as we grow into being a functioning adult in our human world of creative activities.

The spiritual dimension of our life is our awareness. Our spiritual life is our awakening to our awareness as our true self, our true life, and our eternal home.

It marks a major transition in human life because it changes how we think, how we feel, how we live, and how we interact with others. It changes both our worldview and our sense of self. We realize that all life is the same life: the life of life itself. We finally understand that life is not created, life itself is the creator.
