TNB->Souix Nation: Indian people knew the universe and followed the stars
Posted on Sunday, May 06 @ 19:03:23 PDT (2590 reads)

AUTHOR: Tim Giago
The so-called oral histories of many of the Indian tribes are often based on actual events, even those deemed as myths. If one takes the time to study the prophecies and the medicine of the Hopi, Lakota and other Indian nations, I believe they would be startled to find that so many of these predictions and cures are true.

TNB->Souix Nation: The Nakota, Lakota and Dakota Nations

When Columbus landed in 1492, the Indigenous Red Nations and Peoples he met were gracious and friendly, as they had always been. Unfortunately, columbus murdered many of those “Indians” and took many back to Europe as “slaves”. This historical fact is discarded by u.s. schools and instead the “Hitler-Columbus” is celebrated as some type of “hero” while Indigenous existence, human rights, and nationhood is ignored

TNB->Souix Nation: Mary Brave Bird, Lakota Sioux (1956-?)
Posted on Monday, April 18 @ 01:44:52 PDT (13218 reads)

Mary Brave Bird dictated her life story in the two books Lakota Woman and Ohitika Woman to Richard Erdoes, a photographer and illustrator who himself became involved in political activism through having taped and transcribed her story. In these two books, written 15 years apart, Brave Bird told how the American Indian Movement (AIM) gave meaning to her life. Lakota Woman, written under the name Mary Crow Dog, portrays her life from her birth to 1977, and Ohitika Woman written under her current name of Mary Brave Bird, covers events up to 1992 and adds new details to the earlier history.

Origin stories tell of life beginning for the Lakota in a cave that is located in what is now Wind Cave National Park on the southern edge of the Black Hills of South Dakota.
The people emerged from the cave to join their relatives the Pte or buffalo, which were to assist the people by sustaining life and providing shelter, clothing and tools.
The Lakota were nomadic; moving from the Great Plains to the Great Lakes and then to what is now North Carolina and back to Minnesota and then once again to the Black Hills.
Victor Douville, Rosebud historian, said that star knowledge puts the Lakota in the Black Hills in 1700 B.C.

I am doing genealogy...researching a Blackfoot Lakota Sioux relative. Other relatives dispute this relative being Blackfoot or Blackfoot Lakota Sioux because of where she met and married her husband. Marriage MAY have occured at Lake Michigan.

MORTON, Minn. - Gripping a cane tightly, Ernest Wabasha slowly reached to touch a pair of heavy iron shackles hanging from his mantel - the same shackles his great-grandfather, the legendary Chief Wabasha, wore during a forced march across the southwestern Minnesota plains a century ago. A portrait of Chief Wabasha hung nearby, surrounded by the strong faces of the Wabasha line before and after. The most recent are photos of Ernest and his son, Wabasha No. 6 and No. 7.

KEYWORDS: war in Iraq Lakota people Lakota Nation violation of

AUTHOR: Tetuwan Oyate,
Teton Sioux Nation Treaty Council
In the fall of 1875, the United States government issued an ultimatum to a
nation of people that stood in the way of their advancement across the North
American continent. The Lakota people were given a few weeks to leave their
own country and return to a reservation established by the Americans "or be
considered 'hostiles' subject to forced removal." The Lakota refusal to heed
the ultimatum resulted in a war that included the charge of the 7th Cavalry
under the command of Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer and his ultimate defeat
on June 25, 1876.
On March 18, 2003 George W. Bush issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Iraqi
President Sadaam Hussein and his sons to go into exile or face "military
conflict." Shortly after the world listened to the American president's
demands, the assault and invasion by American troops began. Again, the 7th
cavalry is advancing on a city of people living on their own terms in their
own territory.
If America, or the world for that matter, wants to understand the American
mind-set behind the war in Iraq, it's simple. Ask an Indian.

In the distance, fourteen Lakota horseback riders, some riding bareback, are approaching on the same route that survivors of the massacre of Wounded Knee followed 112 years ago.
Here on Stronghold Table they Ghost Danced so the people would live and they were massacred. Now, the remains of men, women and children -- Lakota, Paiute, Northern Cheyenne, Northern Arapaho and other tribes -- are apart of this earth.
