Urban Shaman

This book and the author's lack of research irritated me. A simple Google search instructed me in the anthropological and historical background of Coyote as a Trickster character - and he's not from the Cherokee nations. I'm disgusted that the author couldn't have bothered putting even that much research into this book - this is the type of bad research that gives non-Native Americans a bad name. To be true to her character's background, she should have had Rabbit or Fox appear in Joanne's dreams to coach her through learning to become a Shaman.
