From page 14:
“The Lakota Warrior and Holy Man Black Elk also spoke of Seven Generations.”
“...an Anishinaabe Ojibwe perspective is separate from all other indigenous tribes, such as Lakota, Dakota, Nakota, or Haudenoshaunee Iroquois. The language of each of these peoples are as different from one another,, comparatively speaking, as Somali, German, and Mandarin Chinese.”

From page 249-250:
"If the Paleolithic Posture is a traditional indigenous warrior's stance, then why do modern soldiers stand at 'attention' with locked knees, stomach in, and chest our? The Paleolithic Posture seems the opposite of military posture. I had the same question until several years ago when I discussed posture with a retired U.S. Army general. He told me that he didn't trust a soldier who stood with bent knees. 'He is likely to do his own thing.' ... Military posture produces an ALTERED state of consciousness that makes the soldier most likely to follow orders. The FORCED un-natural posture cuts off the feeling of the earth, and the 'ground' of one's own BEING. IF you feel DIS-EMPOWERED, you are more easily subject to outside-authority.
By contrast, the warriors of long ago were expected to practice a balance of self-determination, autonomy, and cooperation.
In traditional Native American society, EACH PERSON WAS [IS] A POTENTIAL LEADER."
