Description
Tokala Two Elk was born in a chicken coop on the Pine Ridge Reservation, home of the Oglala Lakota Nation. His life was shaped by Spirit, ceremonies, teachings, and traditions of his people, the Oceti Sakowin. After years of struggle with alcoholism, Tokala found a path to sobriety that opened his world to education, community, and teaching. He drew on the foundation of Lakota values - Wo (the spiritual world), Wa (the mental world of the Animal Nation), Wi (the sun), and We (our blood) - which are essential to the Hocoka, the Circle of Life, at the core of Lakota beliefs. This book is a gripping exploration of the history of the tribe and the centuries of injustices they have faced. Tokala Two Elk shares how his people's strength of Spirit and hope enabled their survival in the face of prejudice and adversity.
