About this listen

The Lakota Way received the prestigious Audie Award, considered the "Oscar" award of the audiobook industry, in 2004 for the category of best inspirational audio.

The myth of Deer Woman teaches a lesson on respect. The legend of Crazy Horse illuminates a lesson on humility. And the story of Eagle brings home the importance of compassion. These stories from the heart of Lakota culture and its survival, and their meanings, still resonate deeply with our daily lives.

Rich with storytelling, history, folklore, and Marshall's own personal experiences, The Lakota Way expresses the heart of Native American philosophy and the 12 core qualities that are crucial to the Lakota way of living: bravery, fortitude, generosity, wisdom, respect, honor, perseverance, love, humility, sacrifice, truth, and compassion.

Compelling and profound, The Lakota Way gives a fresh outlook to those searching for a new perspective on spiritual and ethical living.

Very good read(listen)!!
Made me think"what if everything had gone the opposite direction this whole time!?" every person that came here from a different country, land mass, Europe, etc had to either get on board with the native way of living or be slaughtered and/or rounded up and put on small chunks of shitty land called trailer parks and live below( well) be low the poverty level! I think that would make one hell of a movie!!!

Would you listen to The Lakota Way again? Why?

Yes, I will listen to it many times. Joseph Marshall's narration is really great. I wish audible could use him to narrate all the books in their catalogue. He speaks slowly and plainly, teaching enduing lessons. I have 75 audiobooks, and this is my favorite. It's more than just stories, oral history, or lessons. The sum is greater than the parts, it's a very beautiful book and special experience.

Wisdom

The stories are SO rich, moving but more than that life affirming and full of wisdom for life. Wisdom that is missing in much of current life and yet so needed. Every story touched my heart and made me cry sometimes even know I didn’t know why. Maybe because this is ancient wisdom that is at the core of life and it is so touching and rocking to recall it

Outstanding!
