This review is from: The Lakota Way: Native American Wisdom on Ethics and Character 2011 Wall Calendar (Calendar)
Joseph M. Marshall and his illustrator, Donald F. Montileaux have once again created a beautiful work of art. Each month the viewer is reminded of basic human values that the Lakota actively lived, and those who are actively walking the red road continue to live. Humility, Perseverance, Respect, Honor, Love, Sacrifice, Truth, Compassion, Bravery, Fortitude, Generosity, and Wisdom are values and ethics that are important to peaceful co-existance for all human beings. Anyone who enjoys colorful native art and wants to have a monthly reminder of the internal qualities that makes a good human would definitely want to have this calendar adorning their wall. It makes a great gift!
