Average Customer Ratings:

A Native American healer, teacher, and activist, Rolling Thunder is known to millions of people all over the world through his stories and talks, through Doug Boyd's book about him, and the Billy Jack films, which were based upon incidents in his life. This book, long overdue by those who knew Rolling Thunder and his work, is a major legacy of his extraordinary life and the summation of his teachings and in his own words. As controversial and plain-speaking as Rolling Thunder himself, it exhorts, enlightens, and teaches through anecdotes and stories, forces us to listen and to think, and carries on his primary mission: to bring Indian knowledge to non-Indian people.

Rolling Thunder Speaks represents the gathering of over thirty years of his tapes and writings, in addition to stories, lessons, and conversations remembered by his widow, Sun Rising Pope. A Cherokee of the Blue Paint or Medicine People clan, Rolling Thunder mastered the Cherokee, Shoshone, Paiute, Sioux, and Tuscarora medicine traditions and healed and instructed both Indians and non-Indians for over forty years. The book describes the basic beliefs and practices of traditional Native American spirituality and training and tools of medicine people. It includes Rolling Thunder's instructions for meditation and prayer, protection against bad spirits, and the use of certain herbal remedies, as well as accounts of history according to Indian beliefs, discussions of karma and the political realities faced by Native Americans, American Indian prophecies, Rolling Thunder's personal visions. Sun Rising Pope has put together all this knowledge in a faithful rendering. As she says: The words are his words; everything in this book is what Rolling Thunder taught.

Summary: Rolling Thunder Speaks...A great book
Comment: This is a great book that shares true insight about who Rolling Thunder was. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has a sincere intrest to learn about real medicine people.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Simple Spirituality
Comment: Why would anyone feel the need to critisize this book? I can't imagine. The style is very simple, and inspiring. Rolling Thunder is portrayed in these pages as warm, human, full of wisdom, and it provided helpful pieces for the path I'm on. While I (in contrast) believe the Bible has much to say on preserving the earth, I was never taught that in Christianity. Now, I'm walking a different, more connected path of oneness with Creator and Creation. Wonderful book!!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: 2 Steps Back.
Comment: Doug Boyd's book was the step forward.
It is true that Carmen Sun Rising Pope promptly married my grandfather Rolling Thunder in his last and mentally muddled days. He died and Carmen took everything from my family. I don't recommend supporting her.
I can tell you as his grandson I have not ONE item gained from Rolling Thunder's passing.
But never mind all of that. Everything returns to earth in the end anyway. The point here is that I am soon releasing a Rolling Thunder book which will contain stories of RT never before read and anecdotes from people all over the United States who knew him personally. No one-sided perspectives here. Just the simple inner journey of a youth trying to piece together the real fact and the real fiction of Rolling Thunder.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Did the fueding family read the same book I read?
Comment: I'm not sure what the family members are complaining about in the content of the book. I do sense resentment toward a spouse getting a book out. The messages in the book are spiritually overpowering. Rolling Thunder pulls no punches in laying down the facts about how the white man (I am white) is completely destroying the circle of nature and life. He shows the Native connection to it and how tribes need to get back to the old ways, to return to teaching and handing down the culture. This message is clear, concise, and thorough. It left me motivated to help the original inhabitants of this country restore Mother Earth to a condition more pleasing to the Great Spirit. It also spurred me to take action supporting Native Americans in their fight to return to the old ways.
Customer Rating:
Summary: What you think is not what it is...
Comment: If you wanted a sequeal to Rolling Thunder's first book this is not it. This book represents itself as from Rolling Thunder but it is written by his second wife with the intension to make money from the coat-tails this great man's lessons. It is an interesting text, BUT what does one believe to be true? Stick with the real thing and Rolling Thunder is it. RT died from cancer and Rolling Thunder Speaks was written after his death. Read for entertainment but be aware what you take for truth, DO NOT QUOTE as from RT himself.
