The Lakota Way 2012 wall calendar features original ledger art and sacred mask paintings from Oglala Lakota artist Donald F. Montileaux and text by author Joseph M. Marshall III. Each spread includes the Lakota names for the months, such as "When Calves Are Red" and "When Things Ripen." Marshall's text presents a traditional Lakota virtue for each month, guiding the reader along the Lakota path of wisdom. Marshall is a teacher, historian, Lakota craftsman and writer. He has authored several screenplays in addition to fourteen books, including the highly acclaimed Walking with Grandfather, The Lakota Way and The Journey of Crazy Horse. Marshall is a member of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe and was most recently involved with the television miniseries Into the West as narrator, actor and consultant. Donald F. Montileaux is a master ledger artist and, following in the footsteps of his forefathers, he has rekindled ledger art with a collection of striking images that capture the unique Lakota way of life. The interior pages of this calendar are printed on 100% recycled, 50% post-consumer paper, processed chlorine free and printed with soy based inks.

Joseph M. Marshall and his illustrator, Donald F. Montileaux have once again created a beautiful work of art. Each month the viewer is reminded of basic human values that the Lakota actively lived, and those who are actively walking the red road continue to live. Humility, Perseverance, Respect, Honor, Love, Sacrifice, Truth, Compassion, Bravery, Fortitude, Generosity, and Wisdom are values and ethics that are important to peaceful co-existance for all human beings. Anyone who enjoys colorful native art and wants to have a monthly reminder of the internal qualities that makes a good human would definitely want to have this calendar adorning their wall. It makes a great gift! Mitakuye Oyasin. Bunny B. Czarnopys

This is my fourth year with these calendars. Joseph Marshall III always includes great text explaining the moons. He did contribute art, but now it is wonderful art in the leger style. Love this calendar!!!

This calendar, unlike many others about Native Americans, was actually written and painted/crafted by Lakota, with themes of warrior life and the richness of culture which the Lakota have kept and not lost.

this calendar is very good in that it explains the different signs and words of the lakota people. blocks for days are large and easy to write more than one thing in. but it is the history included each month that intrigues me.

I received my Lakota Wall Calendar this afternoon (4/4/13) but haven't hung it up as yet. It is a larger calendar than the other wall calendars I have but I want to read it before placing it on my wall. The reason I purchased it is that I have some LaKota heritage; am also interested in reading books too that are connected to that same heritage.

I love these calendars since beginning. The art work is great, each with its own message. I love the "recaps" that are present each month. Keeps things up front. I love comparing the Lakota "months" to the occurances here in NNY. I will keep buying these calendars as long as they continue to create them.

When we buy calenders on line, the first thing we have to worry about is the quality of the paper. Well, the paper on this calender is fine. We wrote down birthdays already, but none are showing on the back page where the beautiful pictures are. Secondly, those earthy art of Indian, I think, will go along with almost any kind of interior. I can picture it looking good in any rooms I know (except those pink and purple girls' room). For self use, for gift, I highly recomend it.

Beautiful art work and philosophy. A very nice calendar. I write in the date blocks of my calendars and this one is fine for that. It hangs in the kitchen and visitors have remarked on how nice and interesting it is.
