Interesting mix of autobiography, memoirs, and Lakota philosophy. Young Bear was born in 1934, and has seen the loss of traditional way of living and a rebirth of interest in those values. His father was a singer, which started Young Bear on that path. He writes thoughtfully about those changes, and about the teachings that helped him in his life.
Story about finding the modern Lakota identity through oral tradition, powwows, humor, leadership and music.
