Wolf Tribe: Book 1

The Lakota culture existed for thousands of years, the culture and history were passed down through generations in the forms of chants. It was foretold over 1000 years ago the Lakota Peoples would face a period of near extinction but would recover. The passage of cultural knowledge was nearly lost during the US Government Policy of 'kill the Indian save the man' when Lakota children were removed from their family homes and raised in boarding schools. The younger generation's knowledge of the Lakota language and of the history contained within the chants has been virtually lost. 200 years ago the Lakota People were the healthiest most robust people on the planet. Their diet was based on the buffalo. One Lakota, Wahunpa remembers the chants he heard from his grandparents before he was removed to boarding school. He believes in the ancient message contained in those chants and dedicates his life to restoring the Old Ways of the Lakota Peoples. The ancient chants describe a culture based on solidarity, personal dignity, cooperative behavior and reverence for mother earth. Crazy Horse was the last known sleepwalker. He was able to separate his conscious self from his resting body during his dream state and move through time. Wahunpa discovers his sleepwalker ability by accident while attempting a vision quest in search of his purpose as a young man. He will spend the rest of his life developing his sleepwalker abilities and pursuing his goal of reviving the Old Ways.
