The Lakota Way by Joseph Marshall III



The Lakota Way: Stories & Lessons for Living is full of wonderful traditional stories and history of the Lakota People plus writing by this talented, critically acclaimed author, Joseph M. Marshall III, who speaks straight to the heart. Even if you are not of the Lakota tribe this book is a great book to read. The lessons are applicable for all people!

I even read the introduction to my children. It is called Let the Wind Blow Through You and teaches people to manifest virtue in life's journey despite what goes on around us and how the author has used his grandfather's teaching in his life.

The book has several topics including: Humility, Perseverance, Respect, Honor, Love, Sacrifice, Truth, Compassion, Bravery, Fortitude, Generosity, Wisdom and an Afterword including The People and Walking the Circle.

You will read great stories such as: No Moccasins, The Giants, The Deer Woman, The Snake, The Cottonwoods, The Flutemaker, The Thunders and many more.

These are lessons for life and include 12 values of the Lakota People but are a valuable resource for everyone who wants to learn the importance of these values and to teach them to the children.

I definitely recommend this book for all people. I have asked my children to read this book also and hope that they will learn from it.
