About this item

by Joel S. Diehl (Editor), Tony Ten Fingers (Author)

"Lakota Wisdom" is a beautiful creation of ancient and current wisdom, brought to us through the heart and soul of the author. Through our lives, we tend to take so much for granted of what the Earth and Nature gives us. We forget about the humility of life, as well as the importance of being one with all things. We structure our lives to be lived as a race, rather than to simply be lived in grace. This literary work is so much more than a series of sayings and quotes; it is a map to a more positive, humble, creative and loving way of living life.
