How does one measure the intentions of a life? This is a question that Tekatsi:tsia’ kwa Katsi Cook (Wolf Clan, Mohawk Nation, New York) asks in her introduction to Worlds within Us, a book rich with the voices of eight Native American women elders.
Each elder represents a distinct nation, a community, a family, and an individual carrying the history, wisdom, and traditions of generations. They share their very personal life stories with us, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives.
Whether from present-day Alaska, the American Southwest, the Great Plains, or upstate New York, what each elder brings to readers is unflinching honesty, but also common values, common problems, and above all the common desire to assist in the transformation of others through the example of their own extraordinary lives.
The book features a foreword by Gail Small (Northern Cheyenne) and afterword by Ramona Emerson (Diné).

Worlds within us is a glorious celebration of women elders, their wisdom, resilience and leadership. Written beautifully to engage all readers in the lives and history of these inspiring women. I highly recommend this book for all human relatives for a deeper understanding of how feminine energy is needed in all aspects of life to bring balance to the world inside and outside of us. With deep gratitude to all who helped bring this book to life.
A beautiful compilation. I felt mentored, inspired and challenged by these powerful female voices.
As an older woman and of European heritage I felt quite humbled and deeply touched by these women’s stories and the message held by them. I am grateful to them all and wish them the attention that they have earned by their strength to speak and stand with dignity.
These precious elders offer us the wisdom we desperately need to, in large and small ways, heal our hearts and our planet.
Worlds Within Us: Wisdom and Resilience of Indigenous Women Elders is a profound reading experience, I have read it again and again, and it is my favorite to recommend to friends and to my patients. It is also the perfect gift for any special person in your life!
The wisdom of these elders stayed with me long after I finished this wonderful book.
Love this book!
The strength, courage and compassion of these amazing women has warmed my heart. I will share the lovei received just reading this book.
I am so grateful for the knowledge imparted to me through this book. My eyes were first opened years ago by the Wisdom Keepers book in a more gentle way. This book opened my heart so much more deeply.
I thank you 🙏
