Buffalo Woman Comes Singing is a wonderful combination of Brooke Medicine Eagles personal journey, stories, and wisdom from Native American traditions, ritual, and ceremony. I have taught side by side with Brooke. I know her as a person who walks her talk and as an inspired teacher. Her book connects us to All Our Relations on this living earth and to the power and beauty of White Buffalo Woman, a North American feminine archetype.
Jean Shinoda Bolen
Author of Goddesses in Everywoman and Gods in Everyman
Poignant and vulnerable, brilliant and filled with compassion, Medicine Eagle speaks from the heart to share the agonies and the ecstasies of the Rainbow Path to wholeness.
Jamie Sams
Author of Sacred Path Cards
A rich guide and a priceless sourcebook for the spiritual journey.
Hal and Sidra Stone
Authors of Embracing Our Selves and Embracing Each Other
Brooke Medicine Eagle captures the essence of who we are in Buffalo Woman Comes Singing because it is in the spirit of what we create in our humanistic ways that we can establish our existence in ourselves, therefore giving purpose to our transformational potentials on the Rainbow Path.
Joseph Rael
Author of Beautiful Painted Arrow
Native American Matriarchy and the Natural Way were essentials to bring forth Native-rooted democracy. Woman, if you seek back your rightful power, look seriously at Medicine Eagles leadership.
Ed McGaa, Eagle Man
Author of Mother Earth Spirituality
A fascinating and deeply moving account, teeming with insight and rare perception. Buffalo Woman Comes Singing is spiritual autobiography at its best.
Ken Carey
Author of Starseed: The Third Millennium
With her mind firmly rooted in her feet, Brooke Medicine Eagle walks her talk straight into our hearts. Her integrity is medicine for our hungry souls, her teachings a timely bridge between ancient and modern shamanistic practices. This is an extraordinary book from one of our finest spiritual healers.
Gabrielle Roth
Author of Maps of Ecstasy: Teachings of an Urban Shaman

Brookes lucid and lyrical style, enhanced by the visionary art of Prue See, will allow readers to experience the beauty path of Brookes teaching.

This book is dedicated to those who have been my teachers:
both those who modeled what to do, and those who demonstrated what not to do.
It is dedicated as well to Father Spirit and Mother Earth;
to those who are awakening to heal themselves and the Earth;
and to All My Relations.
First of all I want to acknowledge my family, who see me very little because of my commitment to teaching and sharing with others, and also to thank them for their support and caring. Many thanks go to my agent Wabun Wind for helping get this book started; to Melane Lohmann and Marion Gracen for their splendid assistance on this project, which made it easy on me and the editors; to Lynn Peck for her artistic rendering of the Medicine Wheel I use; to Rick Faust for his beautiful cover art; and to Sondra Kate and Alan Geller for the lovely retreat they offered at Hedgerow. Deep appreciation goes to my partner, Alvin EagleSmith, who provided the solid ground of home for me to stand on during these years of writing.
I realize that much of what is contained in this book emerged through interacting with you who are my students. My thanks goes to every one of you, and especially to those who offered their comments on my work for this book.
And most of all, I want to thank my editor, Cheryl Woodruff, who helped me turn a wobbly first draft into a very special communication for All My Relations. Her thoughtful criticism and challenges not only helped me grow a better book, but also to become a more integrated author!

BROOKE MEDICINE EAGLE
Although this story is my story, told through the metaphors of my own personal experience, my hope is that it is more than just a personal recounting. My prayer is that it will stimulate understanding, growth, and healing in your own life, which in turn offers healing to our Mother Earth. In this time of our maturing as a species of two-leggeds (humans), the messages, the spirit, the energy of our great teachers is calling to be lived out into the world through our own bodies and our own experience, through you as well as through me. I call my work EMBODYING SPIRIT, in honor of this understanding.
In thinking about this, I want to share with you a song I wrote some time ago with one of my spiritual benefactors:
THE RETURNING
White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman is a day woman,
a day woman,
a woman of Light.
Her Lightness makes her white,
shows her white,
crystal bright.
We want her here,
we call her here,
White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman
Buffalo Woman of Light.
Through my heart she comes;
she comes
in soft white glow,
