Olsen and Ezekiel C. Sanchez (a Totonac Indian whose native name is Good Buffalo Eagle), the Anasazi Foundation invites young people, through a primitive living experience, to effect a change of heart. For over thirty years, their teachings have helped families begin anew and walk in harmony in the wilderness of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInspired by their wisdom, this book tells the story of two brothers whose warring hearts threaten to destroy their lives and their community. Trapped in a canyon, the two brothers are rescued by a mysterious old man who perceives their need for peace. He offers to guide them home—inviting them to open their hearts toward a New Beginning. When they agree, he teaches them the five legends of peace. And as they walk forward, they learn that we are free to create peace in our own lives—and how to do it. This discovery saves not only the brothers but ultimately their people. This poetic narrative offers us all a hopeful way out of the canyons of war, leaving behind the warring within.“Although \u003ci\u003eThe Five Legends\u003c\/i\u003e is not a book from or about the Indigenous Peoples, it IS a book which will nourish the heart.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Pauline Martin Sanchez, Gentle White Dove and Cofounder Mother of ANASAZI Foundation\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“As the ANASAZI program grew, I put my efforts into developing a companion program to include parents and families in the powerful principles their children were learning on the trail.
