About this product
Product Information
"Our people are very lucky to be here," says Albert White Hat Sr. He has lived through a time when Indians were under government control, were sent to boarding schools, and were not permitted to practice their own rituals. Now, although the Lakota people can practice their beliefs openly once again, things have changed, old ways have been forgotten. As a teacher at Sinte Gleska Tribal College in South Dakota, White Hat seeks to preserve the link the Lakota people have with their past. In Life's Journey-Zuya, White Hat has collected and translated the stories of medicine men, retaining the simplicity of their language so as not to interpret their words through a Western lens. This is Zuya, oral history that is lived and handed down over the generations. In addition to the stories from the medicine men, White Hat shares stories from his own experience. Through anecdotes he shows not only how the Lakota lifestyle has been altered but also how Lakota words have begun to take on new meanings-meanings that lack their original connotations and generate a different picture of Lakota philosophy. White Hat notes that the language, interwoven with history, tells the people where they came from and who they are. By setting the traditions and ceremonies down on paper, with the history of how they evolved, he has secured the meaning of these practices for current and future generations. Written with warmth and humor, Life's Journey-Zuya will be an enjoyable and enlightening read for the Lakota, the scholar, and the general public alike.

Reviews
"Immeasurably valuable. Its narrative text is anecdotal in style and presentation, it puts you within the locale or setting very directly, and the sounds, sights, conversation, and activities are experienced intimately. I feel and sense Lakota people and others have been waiting for ages for this book. I personally have. With his talent and indigenous sense of scholarship, Albert has composed a book that will go a long way to setting the record straight on indigenous knowledge as a whole."--Simon J. Ortiz, Arizona State University, " Life's Journey is part history, part language instruction, and part biography, and through it all is the strong first-person narrative of story and tradition carefully crafted and preserved through the editing efforts of John Cunningham." -- North Dakota History, "Significant . . . both as a religious study and a historical study. It is much more accessible than most other books on this topic."--Tom Grayson Colonnese, University of Washington, "An excellent writer whose keen understanding is brightened by his humility, [White Hat] shares the wisdom and beauty of the blended Lakota culture and spirituality: origin story, family system, gender roles, songs and music, ceremonies and medicine men. A valuable book for any spiritual seeker." -- Light of Consciousness

The Breyer arrived in less than ideal packing, but thankfully in one piece. I heard "rattling" in the box before I opened it, which made me concerned. The horse was fine, however inside the packing box was a "tooth" complete with roots. Are you missing a tooth??? If so, I have it...
