The authors introduce management educa- tors to Native American values generally and specifically to four traditional Lakota values: bravery, generosity, fortitude, and wisdom.

What were the values of Native Americans?

American Indian culture emphasizes harmony with nature, endurance of suffering, respect and non- interference toward others, a strong belief that man is inherently good and should be respected for his decisions.

What are Native American religious beliefs?

Early European explorers describe individual Native American tribes and even small bands as each having their own religious practices. Theology may be monotheistic, polytheistic, henotheistic, animistic, shamanistic, pantheistic or any combination thereof, among others.
