I bought this book having read Joseph M Marshall's book on Crazy Horse. This was an amazingly tender book, written from an historical and semi-folk lore perspective. Rarely can a book make me cry, but "Crazy Horse" did. So when I saw "The Lakota Way" I knew I was going to have a good read. I was not disappointed. Having been interested in the Lakota way of life and the principles by which they live their lives (and the "Good Red Road") I could not have bought a better book. It is written in chapters; each one taking a different principle. For example, the first chapter is about "Honour". This tells us what honor is and how it is regarded in Native American/Lakota society. Then Marshall supports this with either one or two folk stories which have been passed down verbally through centuries; from Grandfather/Grandmother to Grandchildren. As one is reading these stories, one can virtually see the fireside in the encampment on a dark night; the whole family gathering around, telling stories about star-crossed lovers, brave hearted warriors and old couples who have shared a lifetime together (as in the story of "No Moccassins") I was disappointed when this book ended but I feel that I have learned much about the Lakota way of life through Marshall's explanations and the stories he tells. Nobody can tell a story like a true Lakota.

The book is insightful - it provides an understanding of what was, and is, the Native American way of life and philosophy. It is a very easy and enjoyable book to read. It combines story, with personal experience, with history - but the negative side to this is that it can make the reading a little disjointed at times.

The book arrived in even better condition than I expected and in a shorter time frame than expected even though it came from the States. Great book...great company.
