Wisdom of a Muscogee Creek Caretaker of Sacred Ways

“I don’t make the medicine, it was here before me. I’ve been entrusted to be a caretaker of certain sacred ways.”

The Bear Is My Father is considered a love story between Bear Heart and a community that stretches across the globe. This book celebrates the life, teachings and legacy of Marcellus Bear Heart Williams, a Multi-Tribe Spiritual Leader and author of the critically acclaimed The Wind is My Mother.

This book is authored in part by Bear Heart himself, and co-authored by Reginah WaterSpirit, Bear Heart’s medicine helper and late-life spouse of 23 years, whose intimate and insightful stories and reflections give a more personal portrayal of Bear Heart.

Speak- ing in 13 Native American tribal languages, Bear Heart was considered a Multi-Tribal Spiritual Leader and was called upon internationally for his healing work.
