Lakota Lore is a compendium of my thoughts and current and past knowledge of the historic and cultural heritage of the Dakota Sioux Nation. It is primarily focused on the larger Lakota branch of the nation due to the fact that a large part of my family possesses Oglala Lakota lineage. Their lack of interest and knowledge precipitated my desire to acquaint them with their rich heritage. This book is aimed at providing a guideline for them and anyone interested or with similar heritage to find out what that heritage entails. It draws on a very large volume of information that has been passed down and documented since the Dakota Nation is one of the most studied Native American cultures whose people are among the strongest in retaining language, traditions and heritage.
