      ...I wonder if he knew late Henry Niece "Goyomac" (The man who knew the medicine) a medicine man from MD...He called me "women who asks many questions" unfortunately I forgot how it is said in Lakota...I met him years ago in NYC and then again in NJ when we went to see "Don Martin" , at a private event in Warwick NY, medicine man from Peru (Condor Nation), he told me he was trying to find him for 30 years and some eastern European woman connected him with Don Martin (I don't know what native name he had)...Mitakuya Oyasin...

      ...Wowitan Uha Mani is right about the tribal council, my friend was trying to find the way to help (and he was really working with them to find the way) with the treaty but the way how it was done in the first place they can't get it back. Sad.

      @wanderingwarrior5626 Рік тому +116

      There has always been four types of people in the world, those that serve evil intentionally, for a nice paycheck/love of money, materialism, power over others, those that just go along out of fear, avoid conflicts with those of power/authority, for a job/income, those that understand how the system really works, who created it centuries ago, fully controls it, so designed their own methods of using it for their benefit without becoming part of it. And those that just fight it, never taking anything from it. David falls into that group. The latter being the hardest life. So, many kudos to David. This David, me, chose the third way, which served me well. No regrets!

      To answer your question, When we pray we end all of our prayers with Aho, Mitakuye Oyasin.
      So basically Aho is our way of saying “ Amen”.
      Mitakuye Oyasin roughly means “ all my relations” because we remember we are not separated from all of the Creators creations but a part of. That’s why this Elder was speaking about the four legged, the winged, the insects, the trees excetra, they are all my relations.
      I hope this answers your question even If It’s been some time since you asked lol.

      OK, first of all, only GOD is righteous. The Bible says that everyone who has ever lived has been born with a sin nature, therefore we are all sinners by birth and not righteous. Do you know who Jesus is? He is the Savior of the world and of every human being. If you will only call on His Name today and repent of your sins and turn to Him he will forgive you and save you from your sins. Otherwise you will spend eternity in Hell when you die if you die without Jesus Christ.

      If more of the world would listen to everyone with something to say at his age, and older, they'd learn so much and not be worried about much. Thankfully, I was raised by my grandmother mostly. She was half Cherokee, and white. Her father taught her everything he knew, and being the first born grandchild that was a boy, she done the same thing. Also she always told me to listen, then speak.

      Not to mention a new dance I invented some years ago...not pole dancing, or break dancing, but pole break dancing...as I could not get down from the top to the bottom position...so I used the stick...I paid a little extra for it, as it multi-tasks, it looks pretty, and it shines in the dark...so when I forget where I am...I can be found by worried search parties. Hoping I don't need it in a few years though, as I have found a new exercise on a slant board that stretches the knee tendons and ligaments and the quads in an extreme position...with wt on the knee...in fact, this exercise could be worth its wt in gold. Spiritually I feel great though, but it will take 8 yrs or so before I can get around...recovery from serious ME/CFS is not overnight, but I am almost officially retired, although tired would be a better description...so I have time now to sort out this decrepit body of mine, once and for all...the Sky is the Limit...and with all the changes coming, I have to be ready, as there will be a lot of work to do, which for me includes coming out to the Lakota, and a few other tribes, and passing on the Last Prophecy...and to warn of the coming events in Sept 2028 and Spring 2033...the world will very quickly look completely different, as the old is taken away, and the new installed by al the Nature Spirits...they are ready! As are many spirits around the Earth who are approaching to support the new times, but they need our help, for we have to empty our minds of all self-will and selfish desires, and ask for the guidance from Above...and the Power of the Spiritual energy streams, which are intensified by a great Star that drives all these karmic reactions, and which will appear in the Sky in around 2038 I sense.

The so call benefits or handouts are actually contractual obligation that US government agreed to in 500+ treaties. The US government has never fulfilled all of its contractual obligations to the indigenous people of US. When Native American speak of the US government failing them, they are speaking of these failed and broken treaties to say the least. The federal government, BIA, supposed to promote economic opportunity and protect and improve Native American assets in accordance with treaties signed with Indigenous people of the US.

There has been more and more attention to our local history here and I hope that continues. As your guest said, there needs to be truth in education about what really happened. Until we do that , there is no hope.
    Every year, on Dec. 25, the 38 ride into Mankato from the Dakotas and ride through town, the streets are blocked and they are escorted to the memorials down by the river. They share their stories, their history and their pain. Many people attend this ceremony even though it can be very cold. I have lined the streets as they have passed through as a way to honor their suffering. This is such a powerful message and one that I have heard and read in many places. Keep doing this great work.

      @colonelsanders4006 I think that it is more important to "bloom where you are planted." Grow from between the cracks of the unforgiving ground, and live your own truth no matter where you are. I think close-mindedness is a plague over all lands. Those of us who see differently need to inspire those who are willing to see and hear, no matter where we are. After all, I can personally assure you there is nowhere more desolate and harsh in conditions than Pine Ridge Reservation. Have courage enough to bloom wherever you are. ✨️🌱✨️

    Years ago I talked to people in my family and read diaries of my settler ancestors who were directly engaged in the wars against the tribes. I know their stories. But I only know half of the whole story. The common thread among settlers was that they were fighting for peace. I got some new perspective on what they did with the peace that was conquered by force. I can say that their honor was and is polluted and tainted by the deliberate disregard for the peace that was signed...as if whatever honor there was in all the sacrifice never mattered. An ancestor of mine was in the US Cavalry who fought the Lakota. I have 2 gentle horses on my farm on unceded territory of the Migmaw. "Sacred dogs". That opened my ears. Thank you. Reconciliation is part of my personal journey.

    It hurts my heart 💗 to hear what David is saying because it is so TRUE. And it doesnʼt sound like it has gotten much better since I visited Pine Ridge and Crow Dogʼs Paradise. We are constantly bombarded by the Corporations and advertisements, and we think this is freedom. I agree with David, connecting with the earth and learning to grow food and be more self sufficient is a way to get out of this quagmire. Connecting with Mother Earth and learning from people who know how to live and respect the land has always made the most spiritual sense to me. My roomate and I are growing Native plants in Hawaii because they disappeared when the plantations stripped the land. Thank you Wowitan Uha Mani and Peter!!!! Mitakuye Oyasin!!!!

I got to be very good friends with a lot of the people there in a time when the white man was far from welcome there. To this day I still hold dear those days spent with those people and wish I could go back. And think about this, David tells us he is NOT a Native American. This is true. The Lakota were here long before this country was called America!!!!! As were all of the tribes.
