Many voices, one journey.

You're listening to Insights at the Edge.

Today my guest is Joseph Marshall.

Joseph Marshall is a teacher, historian, writer,

storyteller, and a Lakota craftsman. He was born on the Rosebud Sioux Indian Reservation in South Dakota and raised in a traditional native household by his maternal grandparents.

Now, as a full-time writer, he has published nine nonfiction works,

re-novels, a collection of short stories and essays,

and has written several screenplays.

Through Sounds True, he has released the audio learning programs, Keep Going, Quiet Thunder, and a book that includes

a CD of stories called Walking with Grandfather, The Wisdom of Lakota Elders.

In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Joseph and I spoke about the wisdom he received from his Lakota elders and how it

applies to our modern lifestyle. We also talked about the sense of guilt and shame that many

Euro-Americans, which is the way that Joseph refers to non-Native Americans, feel when considering the tragedies of our early American

history. We also talked about many of the central teachings of the Lakota people, and finally,

a story about the power of awareness and quote-unquote looking back.

Here's my very illuminating conversation with Joseph Marshall.
