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
