National Day of Transformation
​Rolling Thunder
Rolling Thunder (1916-1997) was a Cherokee visionary, healer, teacher, and activist. In the 90-minute Thinking Allowed DVD interview, Rolling Thunder explains that the Indian way is a life in harmony with nature and contrasts that with mankind as dominator over nature. He describes the powers of traditional Native peoples that emerge from an attunement with nature.​
