MY SPIRIT SOARS, by Chief Dan George, with Drawings by Helmut Hirnschall, 'is a collection of short writings in a poetic mode that cry out for love for children and reverence for the elderly and the world of nature.
Others are reflections on death and the spirit world. One longer poem, To a Native Teenager, is an anguished expression of the futility of flight to the city. Sensitively drawn charcoal illustrations depicting children, the elderly, animals, and landscape appear on nearly every page. A now well-known portrait of Chief Dan George graces the front cover.' -Reviewed by Lillian M. Turner, CM Archive.
