Breath of Life - George Catlin

from The Jungle · host Upton Sinclair

"Breath of Life" by George Catlin delves into the artist's profound experiences living among the Plains Indians in the 1830s, where he meticulously documented their unique way of life through his art. During his time with these Indigenous peoples, Catlin uncovered a remarkable understanding of health practices that he believed contributed to their superior well-being compared to the so-called civilized races of his day. This exploration not only highlights the rich cultural heritage of Native Americans but also invites listeners to reflect on the enduring wisdom of traditional practices in today's health discourse.
