This gorgeous, in depth article about the Lakota Native Americans in Oklahoma will inform, inspire and fill your heart with a renewed sense of your own priorities in life. A must read for the lessons it offers.
"How often in our busy lives do we take time to reflect upon the simple things in life that are taken for granted? Our freedom is “priceless.”

"Our traditional Lakota leaders and warriors served without pay, living a life of sacrifice and public service to the people. If a leader or warrior was cowardly, unwise, unjust, or dishonest, the people removed him from his position. True leadership entailed providing for and looking out for those who were the most vulnerable, including the young, the sick, the widows and the elderly."
Any thoughts on this last paragraph? I know I have many when looking at leadership in our society today.
