A wise old Lakota-Sioux Woman

My photo
The old photo to your left is an important one:Chief's Red Cloud and Sitting Bull. (Update: a fellow blogger notified me and corrected the Warrior next to Red Cloud is American Horse. Also see picture of American Horse in full headress at bottom of this blog) I'm a Lakota-Sioux ,born and raised in Central Wyoming on the Arapho/ Shoshone Rez. My wisdom comes from the school of hard knocks,and the paths I choose to take. Along with the advice and stories from my elders, my road has lead me here.

legend of Crazy Horse This is way cool!


Share/Save/Bookmark I have been hunting for this song ever since 1981 after I split up with a loser and he cleaned me out of everything cept a spoon, a coffee cup,the bottom sheet and the bed. Oh yea, my dog and my Grandpa's shotgun also. I lost track of time through the years and couldn't remember who sang it. J D Blackfoot is I believe the one who sang it first. If you got about 20 minutes [thats how long the song is] it's well worth it. If you do listen to it, thank you and enjoy!

Russel Means tells of the Lakota Sovereignty and what it means for his people


Share/Save/Bookmark Russel Means tells of the sovereignty. How the Tribe took back their freedom, their lands;and why. And Americans didn't come to help. But people from Europe came amd seen the wind and offered to put up the 'windmills',And solar power because of the amount of sun that shined upon their lands. The video is very interesting and inlightening to watch,I pray for them that the Europians don't have the tongues of the lizard.' Lakota.....Has a nice ring to it, the country of Lakota.



I pray for them that they will beat John McCain in his determination to destroy more of the Navajo land with Nuclear power plants. All Native American's should go with sovereignty, take back their lands, Do as the Lakota do...you could light up all the North American country and maybe all the Native American babies that were taken and adopted out worldwide can come home to their roots

Interpreter for General Forsyth
"I was interpreting for General Forsyth… The captured Indians had been ordered to give up their arms, but Big Foot replied that his people had no arms. Forsyth said to me, ' Tell Big Foot he says the Indians have no arms, yet yesterday they were well armed when they surrendered. He is deceiving me. Tell him he need have no fear in giving up his arms, as I wish to treat him kindly…' Big Foot replied, 'They have no guns, except such as you have found. I collected all my guns at the Cheyenne River Agency and turned them in. They were all burned.' They had about a dozen old-fashioned guns, tied together with strings – not a decent one in the lot…."

Lakota
"While this was going on, the same officers said to the Indians, 'I want you all to stand in a rank before the officers… I want the same number of soldiers to stand in front of the Indians and take the cartridges out of the guns and cock them and aim at their foreheads and pull the triggers. After this you will be free.' Some of the Indians were getting wild at such talk and some said, 'Now he sees that we have nothing in our hands, so he talks this way.' Others said, 'We are not children to be talked to like this.' A man cried out:'Take courage! Take courage!' Big Foot spoke up, 'Yes, take courage. There are too many children and old people.'"
