Here are six stories from Joseph Marshall’s award-winning book, The Lakota Way, read by the author and enriched with musical performances by noted American Indian musicians Keith Bear, Joseph Fire Crow, and Andrew Vasquez.
Rich with history and folklore, these traditional Lakota stories about life remain as relevant today as when they were first told.
