Synopsis
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.

April 24, 2009: I was drawn to the Lakota Indian's a few years back when I saw a PBS documentary on them. Browsing through the aisle of a B&N in Oregon a few months back while passing through on a run up to Portland, I came across The Lakota Way. The cover first caught my eye and after reading a little, I was hooked like an addict! Mr. Marshall provides thought provoking, timeless stories shared through out his life and the life of the Lakota natives that will leave you smiling, crying & reflecting on our world......Without a doubt, one of the top 3 books I have ever read in my life time. I have ordered 3 more of Mr. Marshall's books just this evening, and will be ordering many more to pass on to others. I encourage you to buy this book. www.theasphaltblogger.com

March 24, 2009: Marshall shares the many values and ethics of the Lakota Indians by devoting a chapter to each category. A native story is given to illustrate the ethic and Marshall leads us into it with meaningful background information. This book touches the heart and unleashes compassion and inspiration in the reader. I believe this should be a required reading in schools. It also lends itself to reading of the stories to young children and to philosophical discussion in adults. Marshall is a master of the written word. There is no doubt that this book contributes to peace and good moral development.
