Book Description
Buffalo as a business on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation Some American Indian tribes on the Great Plains have turned to bison ranching in recent years as a culturally and ecologically sustainable economic development program. This book focuses on one enterprise on the Cheyenne River Sioux Reservation to determine whether such projects have fulfilled expectations and how they fit with traditional and contemporary Lakota values. Drawing upon on-site fieldwork and using anthropological, economic, and ecological approaches, Sebastian Felix Braun examines the creation of Pte Hca Ka, Inc., and its management styles as they evolved over fifteen years. He paints a compelling picture of cultural change. Braun traces Pte Hca Ka from its origin as a self-sustaining project that sought to combine traditional values with modern technology. He shows how the company tried to operate on cultural and ecological ideals until the tribal government shed its cultural agenda in favor of a pure business orientation. Braun describes these changes and presents the arguments of both sides. In Buffalo Inc., bison serve as a test case for a broader analysis of issues such as sustainability, economic development, tribal politics, and cultural identity.

Book Description
What if a child, given away at birth, discovers that this very act would set her on the track for a grace-filled life? What if her journey was filled with discovery, passion, and a will to share the startling realization that we can move beyond Karma? Now with her book, Choose Grace, Why Now Is the Time, Loretta invites you to experience your own grace-filled life, and, with her stories and insights, she will show you the way. She will show you how to move beyond the Law of Karma, or the Cause-and-Effect paradigm, to a life filled with love and productivity within the Laws of Grace. You can experience this gift by: - recognizing and enforcing the Grace that is already present in your life, and - invoking grace and adopting the intentions and behaviors that uplift you to live within the higher organization of grace. Living within the Laws of Grace, Loretta knows, is to experience love, joy, clarity, power to manifest, dimensionality, synchronicity and freedom. Grace is our birthright, and choosing grace opens us to the challenge of living peaceful and purposeful, love-filled lives.
