This is a MUST have book. I was fortunate enough to meet “Grandpa Pete” before his death and was so excited when I saw this book. Not many have been through more than him, and he expresses his beliefs wonderfully in this book. even if you are new to Lakota spirituality, he explains things in a way anyone can understand. He was a great man, and left a great legacy with this book.

This book is great for those who wish to know the truth about the traditional Lahkota values and ceremonies. Ceremonies are explained with great care and love. The author conveys the wonderful sense of peace that he has found with following the rituals and the love he has for the Creator.

This is a fine book about the life of Peter Catches. This is a must read for anyone studying Native medicine. You will not be disappointed.

Outstanding story as told by one of the last traditonals of our time. In the light of Black Elk, Fools Crown, Lame Deer, Matthew King, and many others Pete’s story sings the old song. Worth the buy!
