Just read a pretty inspiring and cool book called Shadowcatchers by Steve Wall. Steve was a photojournalist who worked on a vast array of assignments that took him to every corner of the globe. He was working for National Geographic at one point, and he took special interest in covering the lives and tribulations of Native peoples. The problem was he introduced almost a too human element in his work instead of more cold and detached reporting. That's actually not a problem in my mind, but it was for editors and higher-ups at Nat Geo. They scrapped so many good stories because of this. This pretty much pissed Steve off and he grew very passionate for his portrayal of the Indians, and eventually he parted ways with NG. His life seemed to be one stroke of bad luck after another, but he slowly picked up the pieces, at times guided by the very wisdom from the elders in his articles and sojourns. His first book was called Wisdomkeepers, and it featured such wisdom, along with his expert photos of the wise men spouting their words forth. The next book, Wisdom's Daughters, focused on the wise women side of things. After that Shadowcatchers came out. It dealt with wisdom with a focus on shamanic healing and facing one's inner darkness in order to reach true light.
