120: Think Indigenous, Author Interview with Doug Good Feather

Tune in for an interview with Doug Good Feature to hear about his new book, Think Indigenous: Native American Spirituality for a Modern World. The book is a guide to integrating indigenous thinking into modern life for a more interconnected and spiritual relationship with our fellow beings, Mother Earth, and the natural ways of the universe.

Get the book through Hay House. About Doug Doug Good Feather is a full-blooded Native American Lakota, born and raised in the traditional indigenous ways of his elders on the Standing Rock Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He is a direct descendant of Grandpa Chief Sitting Bull. He is the executive director and spiritual leader of the Lakota Way in Colorado and the co-founder of Spirit Horse Nation.
