by Joseph Marshall III (Author)

In the mythic tradition of the Lakota, the bow and arrow were more than just tools--they were symbols of flexibility and strength. In this treasury of teaching stories, history, and piercing cultural insights, storyteller and craftsman Joseph Marshall III considers the metaphor of the bow and arrow as a path to personal growth, better resilience, and a life lived with true integrity.
