Rich with storytelling, history, and folklore, The Lakota Way expresses the heart of Native American philosophy and imparts the path to a fulfilling and meaningful life. Joseph Marshall is a member of the Sicunga Lakota Sioux and has dedicated his entire life to the wisdom he learned from his elders. Here he focuses on the twelve core qualities that are crucial to the Lakota way of living-bravery, fortitude, generosity, wisdom, respect, honor, perseverance, love, humility, sacrifice, truth, and compassion. Whether teaching a lesson on respect imparted by the mythical Deer Woman or the humility embodied by the legendary Lakota leader Crazy Horse, The Lakota Way offers a fresh outlook on spirituality and ethical living.

Review Summary: A book to be read
Review: Mr.Marshall is a superb story-teller and a gifted writer. He brings the twelve spiritual values of the Lakota to life in ways that the reader can not only understand, but relate to and see their meaning to everyday life. His stories of his grandparents alone make this book worth the read. Here is a man who listens and shares what he has learned over the course of a life and through the wisdom of those who came before him.
