Included is a new story on the conversations between Brave Heart and his grandmother when he was a residential school student, the inherently spiritual nature of Lakota and Indigenous languages, quantum principles and how they relate to Taku Wakan Skan Skan, healing through ceremony such as the Inipi, and advice for recovering the non-dualistic spirituality of our ancestors.
