"Profoundly articulated, generous, and on time, Dr. Karaam has observed, preserved, and served humanity with a (w)holistic precept in which we can reflect, heal, and rebuild ourselves and our communities near and far. He has prepared and delivered ancient wisdom and ancestral guidance for past, present, and future generations." Candace Latrese Owens (also known as Oni Abeni) "From Village To Community To Hood is so necessary. Dr. Karaam Ellis uses his ancient wisdom & intellect to paint the picture so vividly. He articulates the measures it took to take us away from our nature & how we can return to our natural selves." Shallah Allah "What a powerful viewpoint pertaining to the plight, existence, and future of the Indigenous Community in America. I believe this book will aid in revealing some of the key hidden social dynamics that plague African-American citizens in this country. The insistence on being a community of knowledge and honoring will catapult the social and racial iniquity of America into the realm of reality as a whole, and help to highlight our places in the human gene pool regarding social stability and health. What an excellent offering to our community and to all people." Rev. Dr. Heiwa no Bushi, Founder of Sangha BodhiChristo International
