Join us for a book signing and lecture by author Joseph Marshall III for his new book "Sing for the Red Dress". Sales from the book will be donated to the Red Ribbon Skirt Society.
Joseph Marshall III is an award-winning Sicangu Oglala Lakota author and historian. Joseph M. Marshall III, PhD, is one of the most prolific Native writers in the United States. Raised by his maternal grandparents in a traditional Native household on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota, he has written eighteen historical fiction and nonfiction books and has narrated his audiobooks. He is best known for award-winners “The Lakota Way,” “The Journey of Crazy Horse,” and “The Day the World Ended at Little Bighorn.” His work is informed by his background as a Lakota craftsman, who makes his own Native Lakota bows and arrows; a skilled archer; and a specialist in wilderness survival. The accounts of real historical figures along with the events that he experienced on the reservation and heard as a child from his grandparents and their generation of oral storytellers also figure prominently in his books. His Native name, given to him at age five, is Ohitiya Otanin, which means “his courage is known.”
