**Joseph M. Marshall's thoughtful, illuminating account of how the
spiritual beliefs of the Lakota people can help us all lead more
meaningful, ethical lives.
**
Rich with storytelling, history, and folklore, The Lakota Way
expresses the heart of Native American philosophy and reveals 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 life--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.
