From his home in Maine, he set out on a series of travel adventures to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and the surrounding northern plains in search of voice recovery through self-reflection and immersion in nature. On the Reservation, Kevin encountered an entire community--the Oglala Sioux Tribe--that felt a piece of their authentic voice had been taken or stolen from them. From this experience, Kevin came to see life as a quest for self-actualization. He then wrote a series of short meditations designed to advance the concepts of shared leaders, dispersed power, and respect for all voices. Kevin's full-page color photos and writings span a decade of over twenty visits to the region--during which time he builds a series of deep friendships on the reservation and takes two Lakota names.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Post Hill Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781637580622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 76","brand":"Kevin Hancock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40085076967605,"sku":"9781637580622","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_4baa1197-290c-4f1a-9b17-d552cce28e3f.jpg?v=1621898843","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/48-whispers-from-pine-ridge-and-the-northern-plains-9781637580622","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
