In response to mounting environmental concerns, a defining characteristic of the latter part of 20th century American life is the increasing interest in Native American philosophies. Ernest Thompson Seton (1860-1946) was one of the earliest supporters of the political, cultural, and spiritual rights of First Peoples, and as a corrective to the materialistic worldview and environmental abuses of our day, The Gospel of the Redman is a prophetic work. This commemorative edition contains for the first time Seton’s drawings of American Indian motifs, a selection of photographs illustrating his life, information about his role as founder of the Boy Scouts of America, and his friendship with prominent American Indian leaders.
The Gospel of the Redman contains a new introduction by Seton’s daughter, Dee Seton Barber, a new foreword by Paul Goble, Seton’s American Indian sketches, photographs from throughout Seton’s life, and an extensive bibliography of his works.

Reviews
- …The authors [of this book] inform their readers about the richness of the Native American way of life — all too often ignored by the dominant white culture — with a devotion to detail that celebrates the contributions of the First Americans.
ForeWord Reviews
- How good it is to see the thoughtful tributes of Mr. Seton brought forth for a new generation of readers. We so desperately need the Native wisdom in these times.
James Alexander Thom, author of Follow the River and Warrior Woman: The Exceptional Life Story of Nonhelema, Shawnee Indian Woman Chief
- Much simplified, the message Seton delivered for more than sixty years is that a proper understanding and respect for Nature can provide a type of antidote to many of the difficulties brought on by our modern technological world. And, the spiritual traditions of the First Americans provide us with profound insights into the proper understanding of man’s role in the universe. The Gospel of the Redman presents Seton’s message, and the message of the American Indians, in its essential form.
Dee Seton Barber, daughter of E.T. Seton
