What wisdom and knowledge is lost within the lineages of our First Nations people? And how can we possibly recover and apply that which has been forgotten? In this never-before podcast with Chief Bear Cross, an active chief in the Wanagi Oyate “Ghost Nation” Lakota Sioux lineage, we hear stories of forgotten knowledge and deep wisdom that will shift the way you think about yourself and your place in the world. Chief Bear Cross is also joined by one of my most popular former guests, Chase Iron Eyes, a native rights and environmental protection lawyer who keeps his roots close to the original way of life.
