Prayer on Top of the Earth : The Spiritual Universe of the Plains Apaches

Kay Parker Schweinfurth’s “Prayer on Top of the Earth: The Spiritual Universe of the Plains Apaches,” offers numerous stories recounted by seven self-appointed tribal historians, the last surviving primary repositories of Apache history, born between 1876 and 1903. The Plains Apaches’ mystical kinship with the land and the natural environment that the tribes perceived and nurtured is embodied in their four sacred medicine bundles-the no bikagseli, or “prayer on top of the earth.”
