In this Native American allegory, a young Lakota boy named David is despondent over the death of his sister and fears that he will never know happiness again. His father gives him a gift, a scroll with seven pictures, which properly understood, holds the keys to self understanding. In a deeply moving way, Lessons of a Lakota blends traditional Native American beliefs, with more modern principles such as positive thinking and self awareness. This book will teach you about yourself, show you what it means to be happy, and lead you on your own personal journey to inner peace.

Lessons of a Lakota,
By Yellowhawk (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lessons of a Lakota (Paperback)
Billy Mills is a remarkable man whose selflessness has made life much more bearable for so many Native Americans who need the help and guidance. I'm proud to be a longtime contributor to his charity "Running Strong for Native American Youth". This book is an extremely well delivered and meaningful work to guide you on the true path of a human being, whether you are a Lokota or not.

This is a very good book. I ordered one for my 2 daughters. You can reread it because you can still get more out of it. VERY GOOD.
