Introduction to LAKOTA CULTURE 109
There are Values, Virtues, and Ceremonies that help create and maintain balance in all areas of life. Lakota Elder Larry Salway shows how these things help keep the Sacred Hoop strong, and make life fulfilling.
In order to help celebrate Native Culture, Life Initiatives has produced the "Lakota Culture" series. We also have a series on Poverty.
Larry Salway grew up on the Rosebud Reservation in southwestern South Dakota. He rose out of the poverty of his childhood and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and later, a professor at the Oglala Lakota College campuses in Kyle and Rapid City, SD. He served for five years as Tribal Judge in Pine Ridge, SD. Mr. Salway has also served as pastor of churches in Arizona and South Dakota. Larry is Co-President of Life Initiatives.
This video is part of the training series Life Initiatives has developed for mentor development. Find out more here.
