ABOUT THE BOOK
WATEHICA... is a book about life and death, a book of feelings and emotions...it is a book of wisdom shared by the elders of the author's youth. Some stories are very old...some are new...but all have insight into the Lakota soul...an insight that is not shown or shared by any writers...by any standards.Eya Mani will take you to the heights of your imagination. You will feel his pain and sorrow as he says goodbye to a nephew slain in the streets of Minneapolis by gang members...and you will laugh with him as he shares the humor of the Lakota people.
You will learn many things unanswered before by any author...like the naming of persons and the songs of honor sung at pow wows and ceremonies, and you will learn the true meaning of love...and you will be kidnapped and abused.
From the humor of grandma's dogs, the introduction of twins, and on to the slaying of a monster snake...you will want to share your adventures with those you love and care about...just as Eya Mani is sharing his experiences with you...after all...'we are all related...'
