One of the most distinguished voices in American letters, N. Scott Momaday has devoted much of his life to celebrating and preserving Native American culture, especially its oral tradition. A member of the Kiowa tribe, Momaday was born in Lawton, Oklahoma, and grew up on Navajo, Apache, and Pueblo reservations throughout the Southwest. It is a part of the earth he knows well and loves deeply.

In Earth Keeper, he reflects on his native ground and its influence on his people. “When I think about my life and the lives of my ancestors," he writes, "I am inevitably led to the conviction that I, and they, belong to the American land. This is a declaration of belonging. And it is an offering to the earth.”  

In this wise and wonderous work, Momaday shares stories and memories throughout his life, stories that have been passed down through generations, stories that reveal a profound spiritual connection to the American landscape and reverence for the natural world. He offers an homage and a warning. He shows us that the earth is a sacred place of wonder and beauty, a source of strength and healing that must be honored and protected before it’s too late. As he so eloquently and simply reminds us, we must all be keepers of the earth.

Dazzling. . . . In glittering prose, Momaday recalls stories passed down through generations, illuminating the earth as a sacrosanct place of wonder and abundance. At once a celebration and a warning, Earth Keeper is an impassioned defense of all that our endangered planet stands to lose.-- Esquire

 

"Poets and storytellers have always reminded us of our spiritual connections to the land and the world around us -- passed along through dreams, stories, memories, and mythologies. Scott Momaday skillfully continues this tradition in Earth Keeper, from which we can all learn and benefit."-- Robert Redford
 
 
"Short but satisfying. . . . Using lyrical, heartfelt language, [Momaday] looks back on a life lived close to nature, and on the joy that natural wonders have given him. . . . At a time when bad news is in plentiful supply, readers will find Momaday's words refreshing and comforting in their sincerity."-- Publishers Weekly
 
 
"Wonder abounds in these pages. . . . Short chapters of prose that read almost like prayers to the natural world."-- Kirkus Reviews
 
 
Part memory and part meditation, part poem and part prayer, Earth Keeper is a short but powerful collection that holds its arms out to the world, asking to be read again and again. I make a prayer for words, writes Momaday. Let me say my heart. That heart is evident on every page of Earth Keeper, a reminder that body, soul and earth are inextricably woven together, and to deny that connection is to deny one's very humanity.-- Shelf Awareness (starred review)

 

"Earth Keeper is a prayer for continuity in these days of uncertainty. I cannot tell you why I loved this book, I can only tell you I wept my way through it. Each page brought me closer to myself, a self I had lost in the pandemic. We need Scott Momaday's calm, clear prose and stories. Words are medicine. There is wisdom in sharing what one knows, especially at a time when we know so little. 'Let me say my heart, ' he says. And he does."-- Terry Tempest Williams, author of Erosion: Essays of Undoing
 
A profound reflection on humanity's relationship with its terrestrial home, the planet Earth.-- Booklist


"A collection of short essays as multilayered and majestic as the landscape that has been present in everything that Momaday has written. . . . [A] poetic love letter to the Earth."-- Minneapolis Star Tribune


A timely meditation on the natural world -- as well as what we stand to lose as the climate changes.-- New York Times


Earth Keeper is a celebration of the rich spiritual imagination of America's Native peoples. . . . Momaday, now 86 years old, must be ranked among the greatest of our contemporary writers and our environmental prophets.-- American Scholar

living a life of intention and service to our community, our planet, and our fellow humans

Our journey started long ago in 1999, when a small group of close friends began learning the wisdoms of the people in the Andes. Shamanic practices, yes. But also the soulful way in which the people view and interact with the world.

When our founders took trips down to Peru, they often got asked to bring back certain items like Agua de Florida, Palo Santo, Khuyas, etc for their community. That was over 20 years ago.

Shamans Market was birthed into being as an offering for community and friends. Providing them with resources for spiritual growth. While providing our friends in the states with resources for spiritual growth, we were simultaneously providing a vehicle to financial security to our friends and their families in the Andes.

Being stewards of the earth and maintaining natural balance plays a significant role in how we run our business. We’ve essentially translated our personal worldview - living a life of intention and service to our community, our planet, and our fellow humans - into THE model for our business.

We aim to provide offerings to live in harmony with each other & our earth.

The nature of our business is thoughtful and centered on serving as a resource to YOU. From those just starting out into the practices associated with our products, and also a trusted, reliable source of goods for those who have been with us perhaps before the beginning.

We hope our products and resources are directly impacting the world in a meaningful, mindful way by helping others to reshape their worldview in new ways.

Energy Conservation and Recycling

Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. At Shamans Market, we are always looking for ways to reduce our use of resources and reuse and recycle every step of the way.

Through our participation in the MIGreenPower renewable energy program, Shamans Market is directly supporting the development of new renewable energy projects in Michigan. Thus, supporting the development, construction, and ongoing maintenance/operation of our local wind and solar parks.

Our participation helps to put more clean energy onto the power grid. By making a commitment to go 100 percent renewable through the program, it reduces our carbon footprint associated with electricity use.

We reuse or recycle our cardboard, paper and packaging materials. Very little goes to waste. Many of the materials are reused in our packaging and shipping, and much of what is not, is recycled.

When purchasing supplies we are conscience of finding eco-friendly, recycled or recyclable materials for our office, warehouse use, and packaging materials.

Packaging & Shipping

Whenever possible we use recycled or recyclable products for the products we package and ship. From plant based cello bags for some of our sage and incense products to peanuts that are biodegradable we constantly have an eye out for making our products and packaging earth friendly.

✓ In shipping our products to you here are some of the ways we keep our shipping eco-friendly:

✓ Use appropriate sized recyclable or recycled cardboard boxes and 100% recycled padded paper envelopes

✓ Purchase 100% recycled/recycleable kraft paper for package void fill

✓ Use Geami’s GreenWrap instead of bubble packaging and foam peanuts. Its benefits:

• 100% recyclable, biodegradable and compostable

• Easy for you to recycle in curbside recycling bins

• Made with raw materials from sustainably managed forests & producers

✓ Wrap our products in tissue paper instead of plastic when possible

✓ Print packing slips on at least 50% recycled paper

✓ Purchase only 100% plant based compostable peanuts

✓ Reuse: Paper, boxes and peanuts that we receive product in. This sometimes means you may receive petroleum based packaging. Although we never purchase it we do reuse it. So if you get petroleum based peanuts or bubble wrap you recycle it. Hint: UPS Stores will take your peanuts for you. Find my recycling options at: at www.earth911.com .

Carbon Offset Shipping

Shamans Market has teamed up with  Camino Verde, a non-profit organization working to preserve the Peruvian Amazon. We are offering our customers the opportunity to offset greenhouse gases produced in shipping your order. Your $2 contribution will go to planting and maintaining endangered jungle hardwood trees that absorb carbon dioxide while protecting biodiversity and to preserving virgin rainforest .

The process of collecting carbon in forests, soils, geological formations and other carbon “sinks” is called carbon sequestration. Native trees and forests help fight climate change as part of their natural processes. As they grow, trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into oxygen.

Camino Verde (“the green path”) is a 501-c-3 non-profit organization whose work is based in the Madre de Dios region of the Peruvian Amazon. It is the primary mission of Camino Verde to plant trees and encourage others to do the same. Their programs and presence in several small communities in the Tambopata River basin have focused on promoting the planting and preservation of trees as a source of sustainable income and economic empowerment to small scale subsistence farmers. Migratory agriculture is the number one cause of deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon.

It is their vision to reduce the impact of human populations on wild forests through the improved economic opportunities provided by long-term perennial reforestation and agroforestry.

Camino Verde is committed to upholding the strictest standards of sustainability, integrity, transparency, and simplicity in order to realize our goals. It is our belief that the most powerful solutions are usually simple– and always direct. In the pursuit of “beyond sustainability,” the natural world is the inspiration and model for the solutions we create. Camino Verde at a glance:

✓ Over 10,000 trees planted, representing 250 species, as part of our Living Seed Bank

✓ 180 acres (75 hectares) of rainforest under Camino Verde ownership

✓ 1600 acres (640 hectares) more protected through our conservation partnerships

✓ Over 4500 trees planted with 20 partner farmers through our Basic Agroforestry project

For more information on Camino Verde and the great things they are doing, please visit: www.caminoverdeperu.org

Eco Friendly Products

Many of the products we sell are eco-friendly. You can easily spot these items by the green eco-friendly icon on the product page. What does eco-friendly mean? Eco-friendly literally means earth-friendly or not harmful to the environment. This term most commonly refers to products that contribute to green living, or practices that help conserve resources like water and energy. Eco-friendly products also prevent contributions to air, water and land pollution. You can engage in eco-friendly habits or practices by being more conscious of how you use resources.

Product Qualifications
Making a truly eco-friendly product keeps both environmental and human safety in mind. At a minimum, the product is non-toxic. Other eco-friendly attributes include the use of sustainably grown or raised ingredients, produced in ways that do not deplete the ecosystem. Organic ingredients or materials are grown without toxic pesticides or herbicides. Products with “made from recycled materials” contain glass, wood, metal or plastic reclaimed from waste products and made into something new. Biodegradable products break down through natural decomposition, which is less taxing on landfills and the ecosystem as a whole.
