Taking the Pulse of the Universe


Taking the Pulse of the Universe By Helen Marie Redbird-Smith ABSTRACT How do humans determine the health of their universe and, in particular, how does and did certain tribal groups of the Americas take the pulse of both their micro and macro universes? What place do memory, experience, situation, participation, observation, and interpretation have in this assessment?
