Product Description
Review
Rober Brunett author of "The Tortured Americans" A masterpiece.
Product Description
Storyteller, rebel, medicine man, Lame Deer was born almost a century ago on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. A full-blooded Sioux, he was many things in the white man's world - rodeo clown, painter, prisoner. But, above all, he was a holy man of the Lakota tribe. The story he tells is one of harsh youth and reckless manhood, shotgun marriage and divorce, history and folklore as rich today as ever - and of his fierce struggle to keep pride alive, though living as a stranger in his own ancestral land.

I wouldn't normally review a book, so this will probably sound like a load of rubbish.
This book is great, I am not an avid reader, but could hardly put this book down!
This has taught me so much about life, and made me re-evaluate my life and life in general. I feel richer and more rounded after these fantastic words from Lame Deer. His insight, knowledge and wisdom about so many aspects of life is simply brilliant, and certainly thought provoking. It has changed me as a person.
I now feel I MUST read it all over again.
The best book I have EVER read, or will ever read. Simply FANTASTIC.

This book will do more than teach you how to meditate or what stone to pick up off the ground: it will show you what it means to live. Although Lame Deer talks about what he knows of Native American tradition, the glimpse he gives of life through his eyes is more valuable. The tradition is nothing without the fire that lives in the man and this is a book that gives a marvellous account of that fire.
Please, do throw some frogskins its way.

I really enjoyed this book, and it kept me company through the days that I read it. Full of stories of occurances which happened to Lame Deer in his long and rich life...sometimes sobering, sometimes hilarious, but always facinating...thank you to Richard Erodes and Lame Deer for sharing their stories with us...love and light!!

If you read this book, you'll probably read it again. Then you'll probably delve, find that phrase you're sure you read, that idea, redefine it. The book hooks. Read more
