Lakota Way Stories and Lessons for Living

A member of the Sicunga Lakota Sioux & a descendant of the legendary warrior Crazy Horse, Joseph Marshall has dedicated his entire life to spiritual fulfillment & teaching to others the essence of the Lakota wisdom. As a child, he learned from his grandfather: "Insults can hurt, but only if you let them. If you learn to let the wind blow through you, you will take away its power to blow you down. If you let the words pass through you, you will not feel them." In The Lakota Way, he imparts this lesson his grandfather gave him as well as many others. It combines his own poetic voice with rich storytelling, Native American folklore, history, & lessons to give a fresh outlook for those searching for a new perspective on spirituality & ethical living. In The Lakota Way, Joe Marshall expresses the heart of Native American philosophy & the qualities that are crucial to the Lakota path to a fulfilling & meaningful life: bravery, fortitude, generosity, wisdom, respect, honor, selflessness, perseverance, love, humility, sacrifice, truth, & compassion. The wisdom is shared through stories at the heart of Lakota culture--and its survival--and their meaning & relevance are explained through examples from history & everyday life. The legend of Crazy Horse illuminates a lesson on humility, & the legend of Deer Woman teaches a lesson on respect. The Lakota Way is the perfect handbook of life & ethics for the entire family.Marshall, Joseph M., III is the author of 'Lakota Way Stories and Lessons for Living' with ISBN 9780670894567 and ISBN 0670894567.
