Introduction to LAKOTA CULTURE 113
Beauty and Peace are essential elements to a healthy Sacred Hoop (or Medicine Wheel). Lakota elder Larry Salway takes us on a journey below the surface to look at genuine Beauty and Peace which is spiritual in nature.
This video is part of our Mentor Training series, "Lakota Culture". 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.
