Readings and Commentary

Maria Girouard, former director of Penobscot Nation Historic Culture Preservation represents Joe Polis, Thoreau's Indian guide, reading from "Thoreau's Indians" the 1000 Indian-related references in Thoreau's writings compiled by Bradley P. Dean, Ph.D. Joe Polis was one of three in Thoreau's pantheon of heroes, along with John Brown and Walt Whitman.

Richard Smith, Thoreau scholar and impersonator/interpreter, represents Thoreau and reads from "Thoreau's Indians".

Connie Baxter Marlow presents information and a new perspective which synthesizes Thoreau's life-long interest in the American Indian, his epiphany on Mt. Katahdin and his belief in the human potential; proposing the relevance of Thoreau, the visionary, to the future, as humanity chooses to walk in alignment with an abundant, loving, conscious universe.

@Abderasmus Sorry - please watch the DVD clips to get the gist of the "thesis". I'm trying to figure out what to do about the readings!

The sound is awful and it is impossible to hear what is being said clearly.
