Roots is a highly-praised book, recommended for young people, homeschooling parents and classroom teachers—all human beings eager to widen their understanding of true history. Readers discover the essence of what Native and non-Native people have been to one another in this country. They are reminded of their own capacity for good and for peace and for making a better difference in the world, no matter what their ages or the circumstances of their lives.

"A beautiful book, both to hold and look at—and especially in its spirit." - Howard Zinn, author of People's History of the United States "Written in the spirit of Albert Schweitzer's principle of 'Reverence for Life', Roots of Peace will be an inspiration to many who aspire to such an ethic in their own lives." -Howard E. Robles, founder and president of Albert Schweitzer's Institute for the Humanities "Roots of Peace needs to be in the schools. What a timely, important message for children and adults, too, who have been brought up in this society. This is a book for every young person, parent and teacher." -Ann Rush, co-founder, Peace Pilgrim Center "A friend gave me a copy of Roots of Peace, Seeds of Hope. What an extraordinary gem! I am anxious to use copies in our Montessori Adolescent Program. We have developed a Peace Curriculum which is compelling; your little essays fit beautifully." -Patricia Ludick, Montessori School of Raleigh, NC "In its simplicity and directness, this book provides a profound education in the way of peace. It evokes the changes we all need to embrace to become peacemakers." - Matthew Fox, author of Original Blessing "The best course on right living for children in print . . . Roots of Peace, Seeds of Hope is a great healing and lives its titles' promise." - Jeannine Parvati, author of Hygieia: A Woman's Herbal "A difficult story told with great sensitivity—one that we as well as our young people need to know. We hope Roots of Peace receives wide distribution." -John Hoyt, Chief Executive of the Humane Society of the United States "A beautiful book." -Barbara Marx Hubbard, author of The Revelation "I hope that many will read Roots of Peace, Seeds of Hope and benefit from the wisdom there. The information contained in the writing should be known and understood by all persons, of whatever race." -Ray Fadden, Mohawk elder, founder of the Six Nations Indian Museum "Just as a great tree can grow from a single seed, this book reminds us that we must face the future with hope. Like that single step which begins the journey to the mountaintop, Roots of Peace, Seeds of Hope is a book which starts us in the right direction." - Joseph Bruchac, storyteller and writer "Roots serves as a gently stirring guidepost on the path to peacemaking. Its message is full of love and wholeness and essential to those who consider themselves part of the Peace Movement." - Lewis M. Randa, director of the Peace Abbey, an Interfaith Retreat Center for Peacemakers from around the world "Roots of Peace is a very important book, not only for children and young people, but for all of us who read to them. It is a blessing to All-Our-Relations." -Brooke Medicine Eagle, Earthkeeper, teacher, author of Buffalo Woman Comes Singing "Congratulations on a work of high art." - Steven McFadden, author of Ancient Voices "Beautifully written, passionate plea for a saner future." -Kyriacos Markides, author of Fire in the Heart "There should be more books like this." - Jake Swamp, a traditional Chief of the Wolf Clan of the Mohawk Nation Order Roots of Peace, Seeds of Hope Make check payable (U.S. funds) to maggie s davis. $10.00 (donations toward shipping gratefully accepted) Mail to: maggie s davis 324 Grant St. Ellsworth, ME 04605 Please print your name and mailing address clearly.
