Living the Lakota Way

Learning from the Land, the Spirits, and Our Ancestors

De: Joseph M. Marshall III

Narrado por: Joseph M. Marshall III

We are all indigenous to the planet Earth - and that is why each of us can benefit from indigenous wisdom. Throughout their history, the Lakota people developed many enduring insights and practices for achieving harmony with all the forces in our life - including the land, the spirits, our community, and ourselves.

On Living the Lakota Way, Joseph M. Marshall explores how you can apply the core principles of Lakota Wisdom to your own life, no matter who you are or where you come from. Through his gifts as a storyteller, Joseph Marshall brings Lakota history and lore to life with his words. With each piece of Lakota tradition he shares, Joseph offers a special focus on the aspects that are most valuable and relevant to us today in our own lives. How do we choose the heroes that we honor? Where do we find the strength to make it through challenging times? How do we relate to the earth, to our ancestors, and to the profound mystery of the spirit world? The Lakota tradition, as Joseph Marshall imparts it, can provide us with much-needed guidance for finding answers to the essential questions of our lives.

Thank you.

This book has solidified what I’ve learned, and know to be true in my heart. I came from living on the land and observing.

We all would do well to listen to the last chapter and listen.

Timeless insights into the world, a wonderful sharing of culture and perspective

wonderful sharing of culture and perspectives that should not be seen as "history" but as the author conveys quite clearly they are important for us now. Well narrated and relevant for our lives.

Wonderful and encouraging

I highly recommend this book.
The chapter on healing is full of wisdom. I have listened to the book at least 3 times.

Things to consider in today's world

I enjoy listening to Mr. Marshall, he reminds me of my uncle's sing song voice. His words of wisdom are thought provoking. Enjoyed the stories that establishing his beliefs.

So Important

The American Indian way is the antithesis to so much of the destructive behavior of modern society. And in this way, I believe it is the answer to healing the earth today's society. This is an important book. Marshall has done an excellent job of relaying the sacred and harmonious ways of the Lakota.

what an opportunity

stories were interesting encouraging introspection. the reader was relaxed, ready to listen to and had good intonation. I hope to get more of his books!

What a wonderful insight to Lakota heritage

I have recently confirmed that I have Native American heritage, close to the Lakota, I am Blackfoot. This has helped me connect mentally with Native American heritage in general, and it has helped me connect to grandmother earth on a higher level. Written as if he is sitting down talking to you over a cup of coffee, this book feels really personal. Five stars, this is the third book of Joseph M Marshall III’s that I have read, and I can’t wait to read the rest
