The reader is taught the Native North American concept that night is a crucial part of the balance that is the root of the harmonious workings of the universe. Like all the dualities of life--winter and summer, male and female--the night and the day complement one another and maintain the natural balance. The book provides a map of Native North America showing cultural areas and locations as they appeared around 1600.
