National Native Am,erican Heritage Month is celebrated each year in November. It is a time to celebrate the traditions, languages, and stories of Native American, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Island communities and ensure their rich histories and contributions continue to thrive with each passing generation. The library hopes to help our patrons and visitors to the library to celebrate by choosing a reading selection from the library. In this column for the remainder of the month of November I will introduce our patrons to selections which can be checked out from the library. Our 1st selection is “Walking With Grandfather, The Wisdom of Lakota Elders” stories compiled by Joseph M.Marshall III. In “Walking With Grandfather,” Joseph M. Marshall -now an esteemed Lakota elder himself- unveils the core teachings imparted by those who raised him on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation of SD. With him, you will journey to the heart of Lakota wisdom through stories that blend true events from his boyhood with mythic tales known by every Lakota.
