The story past and present of the Lakota People told in their own voices, also honoring one hundred Lakota Chiefs and Warriors who fought hard so the Lakota People can live. The unique style of ‘Lakota Voices’ combines words from historical figures and past events with voices from modern-day life to create rich and contrasting visuals. Readers will see words spoken by figures like Russel Means in pages next to words spoken by kids in a Martin gymnasium, speckled with descriptive visuals about the surrounding geography and wildlife. A truly thought-provoking book that allows the reader to contemplate all aspects of Native life.
