Gift of Power: The Life and Teachings of a Lakota Medicine Man Paperback – October 1, 1992

A good read. I really enjoyed this humor laced autobiography from a man who has walked in the white and red worlds. His life is an amazing reflection and his healing a tribute. His lengthy descriptions of the spiritual realms is extraordinary. You will have pause to question what you know and believe if you accept his experiences as real. I've been fortunate to have personally known a native medicine woman so what he says rings true, but for many it will push the limits of the world as they know it.

I love this book - Chief Archie Fire Lame Deer is open and honest about his life - his experience and the ways of the Lakota - I will cherish this book all of my days.

This book expanded my reality of, and insight into, a remarkable culture while letting me into the world of Chief Archie Fire Lame Deer, a Lakota medicine man. The narration by Richard Erdoes is transparent and invisible, calling no attention to itself - the work of a master - and no less is called for in this fascinating and awe-provoking life story. Archie Fire Lame Deer's life as told is gritty, real, spiritual, moving, and absorbing. I wish and hope that he and other profound Native Americans like him continue to be born and share their wisdom in the world, and that more people all over come to know the spiritual truths they teach. In our current American culture, there seem to be few great souls to be found in public life. To read about someone like Archie is a gift and I recommend it highly.

Very nice book about the life of Archie fire lame deer. Very readable, very interesting. Second hand but in good shape.

A true story that doesn't try to be preachy from page one and doesn't apologize. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a biography or some insight.

This is a wonderful book, I quote passes out of it. All things writted are from humans. We put our Ideas in them. It is books like these that teach us the old ways. Our Ancestors were punished greatly for there believes. Now they can speak up if we will listen.Thank you again for a Great BookJoyce

One of the best books I've read in a long, long time. I feel like this woke message is even more needed today than it was over 20 years ago

Great BOOK ...
