The Five Legends: A Journey to Heal Divided Hearts
()
About this ebook
The Five Legends tells the story of two estranged brothers, leaders of their people, who find themselves on an unexpected journey. Struggling against each other, they stumble and fall into a great and terrible canyon. Trapped, the two brothers are rescued by an old man—“the last of a people”—who offers to guide them out of the canyon if they agree to learn the five legends of peace. The brothers agree and begin a journey that may not only save themselves, but also their people.
The brothers learn that to heal any conflict we must first look within ourselves. As this fable beautifully puts it, “War does not begin or end with armies and leaders. In truth, war begins and ends within each of us—within our hearts. When we choose to war with others, we turn our hearts away from them and blind ourselves to their light. …To have a heart at war is to invite war into your life.” The path to peace begins when we stop thinking about “me” and start thinking about “WE.”
This poetic and moving allegory is written for all ages. Its message is both timeless and desperately needed for our own time

The Five Legends - Anasazi Foundation

Preface
Hundreds of years ago, in the American Southwest, there lived a group of people who were called, in the Navajo tongue, Anasazi. This word, depending on how it is pronounced, could mean several different things, such as Cliff Dwellers, Ancient Ones, Ancient Teachers, or Ancient Enemies.
Whatever the meaning of their name, one question looms large: What happened to the Anasazi?
If you walk where they walked, you see traces of them: weapons, tools, shards of pottery, and large, elaborate cliff dwellings—echoes of an ancient people. All of these things were abandoned, left behind—as though the Anasazi people simply vanished.
No one knows exactly what happened to them. Archeologists have puzzled over their seeming disappearance and some have suggested it was due to disease whereas others say it was caused by famine. Some believe they ran out of water; others think they fled a natural disaster—a cataclysmic event.
Other researchers have accepted the voice of the Pueblo tribes, including the Hopi and the Zuni, who declare that they are the descendants of the Anasazi people. That being said, these people keep the story of their ancestors sacred and guard it closely.
Sadly, there is no way for us to know—for certain—what happened to the Anasazi people. But there is something we do know: The story of the Anasazi people is woven into the
