Remembering Wounded Knee 1973

Ah-ho My Relations,

Today is heavy with prayer and reminisces for me. Not only are those who walk for the Yellowstone Buffalo reaching their destination, today is the anniversary of the night when, at the direction of the Oglala Chiefs, I went with a special squad of warriors to liberate Wounded Knee in advance of the main AIM caravan.

For security reasons the people had been told everyone was going to a meeting/wacipi in Porcupine, the road goes through Wounded Knee.

When the People arrived at the Trading Post we had already set up a perimeter, taken eleven hostages, run the B.I.A. cops out of town, cut most phone lines, and began 73 days of the best, most free time of my life.

Many of our people have forgotten the traditional way "War Stories" are used and respected in the sacred ceremonies of the people of the Sundance and Pipe, we who have always lived in the center of our turtle island. Long ago our wise ancestors understood that a powerful moment in time existed when a warrior performed a great deed and tested himself to the ultimate.

In english we call them war stories but in our own languages the story and the person chosen to tell it have names with far more meaning. War stories are actually "Warrior Stories" because they are told individually by the warrior who is bringing his actions into the circle.

They are told in front of witnesses who can attest to their truth because the story must exemplify the great virtues of a warrior... honor, truth, courage, fortitude, strength and selflessness give the 'war story' a power that can serve the needs of the ceremony.
