Paula Underwood
Turtle Woman Singing
Native American Educator Paula
Underwood left a legacy for those who wish to learn and who, like Underwood,
consider learning sacred. Her
Underwood’s three Learning Stories are a basic element in what she
calls an “ancient, yet new approach” to learning (www.learningway.org/Education/WholeProcess.html). The
three stories, Who
Speaks for Wolf?; Many Circles, Many Paths; and Winter White, Summer Gold were originally
published individually. In 2002, the Three Native American Learning
Stories were published in one volume.
A Spanish Language Edition of Who Speaks for Wolf? is also available.
My
Father and the Lima Beans is a much shorter story that, like the others, offers a
glimpse of learning and the process of developing a diverse community through
problem solving and asking questions that enable learning.
These four stories as well as a) Three
Strands in the Braid: A Guide for Enablers of Learning and b) The Great Hoop of Life, Volume I:A Traditional Medicine
Wheel for Enabling Learning and Gathering Wisdom (both guides for teachers); c) The Walking People the oral history of Underwood’s
ancestors which is also faithfully d) translated into Japanese and e) Franklin Listens When I Speak an
account of a friendship passed on to her by both sides of Underwood’s family, are currently published by and available for purchase from Tribe
of Two Press.
