Critics Review
“Joseph Marshall is a master storyteller who reveals profound principles of ancestral wisdom. In a brilliant weaving of metaphorical teaching, Marshall shares a treasury of insights for living a life of strength, purpose, and simplicity. This is such an important book for our times!” –Sandra Ingerman, author of Soul Retrieval and Awakening to the Spirit World
“Joseph Marshall weaves the magic of narrative storytelling with his own personal wisdom to beautifully portray the Lakota and Native American perspective of life and living. This book will make its readers see their own lives through a different filter and will contribute to a shift toward connected and fulfilling community.” –Ann Marie Chiasson, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine, University of Arizona
“As the peoples of both the Western and indigenous world reshape themselves in response to our time of unparalleled changes, The Lakota Way of Strength and Courage provides us with a mirror in which we may all contemplate our reflection. This is a book in which a traditional story offers us an interesting bit of advice: ‘If you do not know who you are, then it does not matter what you believe.’ In this book, Lakota lineage holder Joseph Marshall has made very good medicine indeed.” –Hank Wesselman, PHD, anthropologist and award-winning author of Awakening to the Spirit World, The Bowl of Light, and The Spiritwalker Trilogy
“In The Lakota Way of Strength and Courage, traditional elder Joseph Marshall gives us an in-depth, intimate view of pre-reservation Native American resourcefulness and values, as well as how they can inspire us to develop our own purpose, strength, and resilience.” –Nicki Scully, author of Becoming an Oracle and Planetary Healing
“The Lakota Way of Strength and Courage is an exquisitely crafted and inspiring book, representative of a vanishing genre of work from elders who have lived before our modern times.” –Lewis Mehl-Madrona, author of Coyote Medicine
