Four Arrows latest project is a text for Sense Publishers entitled, The Ultimate Collaboration: Social Neuroscience and Indigenous Wisdom. It is scheduled for publication in 2010.
AVAILABLE NOW (October 2008). The Authentic Dissertation has been nominated for the prestigious Frederic W. Ness Book Award under the auspices of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U). This award recognizes a book that contributes to the understanding and improvement of liberal education.
The Authentic Dissertation is a road map for students who want to make their dissertation more than a series of hoop-jumping machinations that cause them to lose the vitality and meaningfulness of their research.
Drawing on his Cherokee/Creek ancestry and the Raramuri shamans of Mexico the author explores how research can regain its humanist core and find its true place in the natural order once more. Four Arrows provides a degree of "credibility" that will help graduate students legitimize their ideas in the eyes of more conservative university committees. This inspiring book will also help academics who sincerely want to see these alternative forms but are concerned about the rigor of "alternative" dissertation research and presentation.

"This book offers a new but ancient perspective
on teaching virtues.
Like the American Indian people who practiced
it for thousands of
years, it does not allow us to separate
character from content, and
by this, makes it possible for us all
to 'walk the talk.' "
