Hau Kolas....
Hello to all.
A update from Rosebud and the Sicangu Lakota tribe.

On Thursday 5-1-03 at the Mission Lakota Town Hall, a meeting
(counsel) was held and attended by:
Albert White Hat, Duane Hollow Horn Bear, Roy Stone, Leonard
Crow Dog, Florentine Blue Thunder, Harold White Horse, James
Looks Twice, Tome Robideaux, Gary Bear Heels, Indio Blue
Horse, Chub Black Bear and approximately 40 other Lakota
ceremonial leaders, medicine men and elders.

The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the "proclamation
and decree" issued by Arvol Looking Horse concerning the
"protection of the pipe and the allowing of non-natives into
Lakota ceremonies."

After 4 hours of meeting and counsel, it was unamamisouly
voted and decided by ALL in attendance,
"that the Lower Brule, Sicangu and Rosebud Reservation tribes
would NOT endorse or support the decree issued by Arvol
Looking Horse...."
And that " all PEOPLE (Oyasin hipi Oyate) no matter of color of
skin would be allowed to support and participate in the wicipi
wakan (sacred ceremonies) held by these leaders upon the
Rosebud Reservation, as long as a person was to come with a
good heart and respect for our sacred ways...."

It was said that if "Arvol and the people who support this decree
wanted this decree, they should keep it at Green Grass and on
the Standing Rock Reservation..."

It was also introduced that a group of these elders and leaders
would/should make a journey to Green Grass and ask to see
and to pray with the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe, as there is
serious concern about the rumors that the pipe was SOLD in
1987....and is no longer in the possession of Arvol Looking Horse.

This is a GREAT THING AND A! GREAT DAY for our people!
It has been said by the old ones that in order for the healing of
the sacred hoop to happen, INDIAN (RED) people must first
COME TOGETHER in unity and solidarity, as a people.
This was a great step towards that prophecy.

I was contacted by Duane Hollow Horn Bear and told to continue
on the path which Tunkasila has set forth before me. I was to
continue my part in the Sundance in Delaware, and that the
tiyospeye taku Sicangu (family of Rosebud) were in support of
this ceremony.

The rumors that AIM and the Grey Eagle Society would attempt to
disrupt and stop sundances attended by non-natives, and would
confiscate eagle feathers, pipes and other sacred items from
non-natives, was REBUKED!
There were members of the American Indian Movement present
at this meeting and their support was announced too.

Tome Robideaux, who is the leader of the "tokila okolakiciye
akicita" (Fox Warrior Society), announced that dog soldiers would
be available to any and all ceremonial leaders upon the
Rosebud if needed for security and support!

This is a GREAT DAY !! HOKA HEY !!!

To all, I personally thank you (wopila) for your support through
emails and phone calls. I am humbled by you.
Time after time I heard from folks around the country who said to
me "if this is the way that it is....I will respect this decree and
honor it...."
My heart is Full !!! Thank you for your willingness!

The American Horse and Black Bear tiyospeye's from Pine
Ridge, SD sent a letter of announcement to Indian Country Today
last week which read basically that "they would NOT support this
decree on Pine Ridge and in their own wicipis...."
Our Oglala relatives stand strong in this too.
WOPILA !!!!

It is the belief of many that this decree was subversive in its
nature and pressured from "other" influences....
I myself  no nothing about this....
I do know that my heart is full and happy to see the unity of our
people through this very difficult situation!

So until we see one another again....HOKA HEY !!
GET READY !! THE TIME IS NOW TO PRAY AND DANCE!

Oyate Music has a new telephone number...
NEW NUMBER: 505-907-4305
I apologize for anyone trying to get a hold of me who has
encountered difficulties....

Pilamiya yelo kolas !!
Mitakuye Oyasin ( WE ARE ALL RELATED!!!!)

Lakota Leaders Rebuff Cheyenne Declaration

Saturday, May 10, 2003: Bear Butte, South Dakota:
Through the days of cold, driving rain the Lakota arrived at Bear Butte, South Dakota as best they could for the important fourth and final Protection of Ceremonies Meeting, this one hosted by the Cheyenne Nation and scheduled for May 10-11, 2003.  Many Lakota Leaders who had planned to attend failed in their efforts on Saturday, stuck fast in the mud of South Dakota.  Meanwhile, the scheduled sweat lodge ceremonies, breakfast meetings, and outdoor women's' circles didn't exist, leaving the people who managed to get there to drive back and forth across the area, looking to connect with others.

And while they wandered and wondered, about 30 Lakota Spiritual Leaders, Sundance Chiefs, and other interested persons met with Chief Arvol Looking Horse in mid-morning at the Bear Butte Lodge, the large log cabin off Coyote Lane owned by the Sicangu of the Rosebud.  Amidst coffee and discussion, the words centered primarily around the proposed Declaration and Request to the U.S. Government which would be presented later that day to the Lakota by the Northern Cheyenne's Chief and High Priest, Bernard Red Cherries.

Clearly each person present was concerned that the Traditional spiritual ceremonies be protected yet most seemed to carry differing ideas as to the best way to implement that protection.  But, in a rare moment of unity, the Lakota Leaders all spoke of their strong reluctance and disapproval of empowering the Federal Government to intrude or control or enforce spiritual matters in any ways other than those which already exist.  They saw no need to change the existing 1978 American Indian Freedom of Religion Act.  Despite the fact that Looking Horse was in favor of the Cheyenne Declaration, there was no question that the majority of those Lakota present were not.
[editor's note:
To read a copy of the proposed Cheyenne Declaration and Request, go to
www.wambliho.homestead.com/BernardRedCherries_Ann2_May03.html   ]

Finally everyone moved to the Bear Butte Center on the other side of the hill.  Filing in through sheets of down pouring rain, past the bronze bust of the late beloved Lakota Ceremonial Chief Frank Fools Crow,  the Elder women and women of all ages were allowed to enter and listen (but not speak).  Eventually, over 150 people entered that building, all in a peaceful manner, all seriously intent on hearing the words of the Spiritual Leaders.

There were numerous speakers.... Floyd [Looks For Buffalo] Hand, representing a group of Oglala Spiritual Leaders, spoke in favor of the Looking Horse Statement of March, 2003 yet also of the need to let each reservation handle their own spiritual matters and enforcement.  Ponca Indian Activist Carter Camp warned that Traditional ways are tribal specific and in danger of disappearing if not restricted to the people to whom they were given.  Southern Ute Sundance Leader Kenny Frost spoke of the need to protect and safeguard the Traditional ways for the future generations.

Bernard Red Cherries, Northern Cheyenne Chief, Sacred Arrow High Priest, and Elk Scraper Society Headsman from Portland, Oregon, talked of his loaded Pipe which lay in front of the Leaders and of the incredibly heavy burden he had shouldered for the last year as he carried his Pipe on this specific mission.  His words described how he had loaded his Pipe a year ago with the commitment and obligation to bring awareness and help for the People to "stand tall again..... because without their [Traditional] Ways, they are nothing."  He stated his belief that his Declaration and Request to the United States Government was the means through which this would happen and that it was the "obligation of the Leaders to stand up for the People in this manner."

Bernard Red Cherries, also known as Frank Reynolds and Robert Coltte, continued to relate that it is the "duty of the People to care for their Sacred Bundle Keepers who are holy."  He related how the Northern Cheyenne Warrior Societies take care of every need of the Cheyenne Sacred Arrow Keeper and the Sacred Medicine Hat Keeper from chopping wood, repairing roofs, and providing food to anything else the Keepers might need.  He seemed baffled and incredulous that the Lakota did not do the same.

Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf C'anupa Bundle of the Lakota, Dakota, Nakota Nation prayed and spoke of the need to stop the abuses and the exploitation of sacred ceremony which is reaching epidemic proportions.  Still standing by all the points of his controversial Statement from March, Looking Horse pointed out that he believes the Grandfathers might leave the Lakota People if their Traditional Ceremonial Ways are not restricted and protected.  He stated his intent was not meant to be racist.

Oglala Spiritual Advisor and Medicine Bundle Keeper David Swallow, Jr., prayed and pointedly spoke of the need to honor the Sacred C'anupa and the Traditional Ways of the Sacred C'anupa which demand truth and honesty and which will turn on any who do wrong by it or who speak lies on it.  In stirring words, he spoke that "the C'anupa is not a pipe.... that the word, pipe, is an English word which can mean many things.  But a Sacred C'anupa is very different.  The Sacred C'anupa is the Blood of the Ancestors and the Tree of Life, and it has its own laws by which a person must live.  To apogi a C'anupa [to load a C'anupa], a person must not kill, must not have blood on their hands, a person must not have hate or jealousy in their hearts or actions, and a person must not ever lie or fool the People or else the C'anupa will turn around on that person."

Then Swallow turned and asked the Leaders if they were "opposed to the White Nation or to the System."  He spoke of how the System had raided his Sundance a few years ago with guns and helicopters in a failed attempt to stop it and how, even last year, the BIA charged him $2000 simply to hold his Sundance on his own land in Porcupine, South Dakota on the Pine Ridge Reservation.

Swallow was emphatic that he does not hate the white people but he "refuses to personally receive anything from the U.S. Government System: not money, not housing, not food, not anything."  And even though everyone (including the Lakota) must live in this modern world, not in the old ways, he still absolutely would not choose to live under even more of the Government System and he will not approve this proposed Cheyenne Declaration and Request.

Swallow stated his "Grandfather and Great-Grandfather never signed a Treaty and if the decision here to go under the U.S. Government, the Long Knives, was approved that he would not do it.  Not ever."

As the day wore on, more Leaders and concerned Lakota spoke.  By mid-afternoon it was clear that the Lakota Leaders were not going to approve the Cheyenne Declaration and Request to the U.S. Government.  As a result, and much to everyone's surprise, Bernard Red Cherries chose to end the meeting and smoke his C'anupa with the other Leaders amidst the sound of pounding rain and hail outside.

No further discussion was held on the Protection (and Restriction) of Ceremonies issues.

Red Cherries stated that he was host of this meeting and his sole purpose was to seek approval and support from the Lakota Leaders for his Declaration and Request to the U.S. Government.  Since that wasn't going to be obtained, Red Cherries saw no further use to continue the meeting.  He promised to continue trying to convince the Lakota in the future.  Calling it a "sad day for the Lakota," he stated that he would leave the building to join the Northern Cheyenne, Southern Cheyenne, Northern Arapahoe, and Southern Arapahoe Leaders who would all be signing the Declaration and Request document.

On Sunday morning, as baffled Lakota and other Native Americans continued to arrive at Bear Butte to attend the Protection of Ceremonies Meeting which was now ended, the sun finally came out.

 Statement From:  Reginald Littlebrave Sr.

 My name is Reginald Littlebrave Sr. and I am a full-blood Indian from the Rosebud Sioux tribe, of the White Buffalo Pipe Clan.  I am Chief Caretaker and Pipe Carrier of the Black Pipe and the Black Pipe ways.  I am the appointed teacher of the spiritual ways of the Black Pipe and the traditional practices of the White Buffalo Pipe Clan.  I am Chief Drummer of the medicine world, as well as Chief Fire, Cedar, and Doorperson.   I am the Assistant Chief Leader and Spokesman for the Native American Church of Pejuta Wakan 31-32 hailing from the state of South Dakota.  I am Blackpipe. 

 This is my opinion on what I have been recently hearing about our ancient spiritual ways of life.     

 I am concerned for the future of our children and our grandchildren, the children of tomorrow and the children of their tomorrows. 

 God's way must continue on.  The Pipe that they talk about is God's way.  I believe God's way shall continue on even if the heavens and earth pass away.  The Pipe needs to continue on through our children so God's way can continue on through them. 

 The Cheyenne say they are protecting the native ways of life.  If that is what they are doing, they need a wise human being to speak for them.  They need to explain what they are saying and doing and what they want to accomplish, because they are throwing out a negative energy to the world.  The Pipe believes in and gathers God's children from the four corners of the earth.  The Cheyenne are scattering God's children to the four corners.  Whosoever scattereth, God is not there.  If the intent of the Cheyenne is to protect these ways, they need some wise spokes agent.  From my point of view, what they are saying does not make sense.  If the Cheyenne knew what they were saying, there would not be a negative energy created among the people. 

 I do not believe the United States government and those who make laws and caretake the freedom of religion should walk into the Native American ways of life and prayers because these are the only things we have left to find freedom in. 

 I strongly believe that if the Cheyenne know for a fact who is misusing the sacred instruments and ceremonies, they should address them directly.  Why should all the non-natives be punished for the actions of a few?  And still, there are those who abuse these ways of life that are native.  No religion or way of life on this earth is 100% secure from the errors of humanity. 

 The reason I am fighting this is because my kids are what the Cheyenne call iyeska (mixed breeds or half-bloods).  Some of my family are what they call non-native.  What is a half-blood or non-native?  Are we not all native to the land unto which we were born?  There are those whom they call non-natives who have grown up in these ways of life, within these ceremonies, and this is all they know.  It is thus their way of life, what was shown to them by their fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers.  What will happen to them if their way of life is taken from them?  What will happen to our children who will not be able to carry on our sacred traditions into tomorrow because they are not full bloods or natives?   What will happen to our spiritual traditions?  They will die out.  Our ceremonies may be "protected", but they will not be preserved.

 The Cheyenne should really think about these things before they present the paper (Declaration to Amend Freedom of Religion Act of 1978) to the United States government saying all Lakota agree.  This is not true.  The Pipe they are talking about was given to the Lakota people, including the seven sacred ceremonies, a few of which are the Sundance,  Inipi (sweat lodge), Hunka (relative-making), and Hanblecha (vision quest) rites.  The only ones that have authority to tell the Lakota Oyate anything about the pipe is Almighty God Himself and the White Buffalo Calf Woman  - no one else.   Who has given the Cheyenne the permission to speak for all Native American peoples and ways of life?  Are they breaking spiritual laws or trying to steal spiritual gifts?  Only Almighty God has the authority to guide and protect the ways we communicate with Him.  No man can own a way of prayer. 

 I wonder if anyone who is speaking for this Pipe has asked the Pipe how it feels.  Have these people considered the feelings of this sacred instrument and how it wants to be used? At the conference in Bear Butte, SD on May 10, I personally witnessed how the Cheyenne used the sacred pipe.  They neither sang pipe songs, nor spoke in the native tongue of the Lakota, who were gifted these pipe ways of life.  If the Cheyenne want to protect the sacred traditions of the pipe, they must learn how to respect them too. 

 If the Cheyenne open this door, the government will soon enter into the Native American Church, Powwows, and any ceremonies that have to do with Native American ways of this continent.  We will soon have to have a license for our instruments, and eventually have to borrow them from the United States government.  We may have to show ID to go to pray. 

 I wonder what other Cheyennes are saying, only 4 or 5 came to the conference  at Bear Butte on May 10.  Is there any wise men among the Cheyenne that can come to speak for them?  Why haven't the Cheyenne asked the Native American Church Lakota peoples who pray with the pipe how they feel?  Did they ask the Powwow people who use the pipe in their Hunka ceremonies?  How about the Sundance peoples?  The people who do Inipi, Yuwipi, and Lowanpi ceremonies?  Did the Cheyenne take their point of view to the Rosebud Tribal Office or other Lakota spokes agents? They have only asked the Bundle Keeper, who is my nephew.  They did not ask me, a Sicangu full-blood from the heart of the Rosebud reservation.  Do they truly have any idea what they are doing and how it may affect us all?

 I wonder about many more things, but I am going to go about this far.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Thank you,

Reginald Littlebrave Sr.

 Response From: Oglala Lakota Spiritual Elder,

Grandmother Waynonaha

 Council Fires (Elders)

 For thousands of years we indigenous people have held our councils. The Sacred Fires are kept from one generation to another. Our Elders, who spoke the wisdom, were revered and cared for as they were the heart of the people.

 In times before the coming of the boat people we sat in peace, listening to our Elders speak.  The "words that come before all things" were held by the Keepers of the Wisdom.

 This was the Great Law that we all lived by, one of simplicity, honesty, and respect.  All was in balance and all in peace within our land and our lives.

 Soon this all changed and our ears were taken by the monster of ego and greed.  The selling of the land began, we turned our ears away from the Elders' voices.  We followed the White Man's religion and ways.

 As we now returned to council the fire, it was not honored, the prayers were forgotten. The time of great sadness started to cover the Earth Mother.

 The gourd of ashes, that held the council fires of long ago, was put away and not added to nor taken from. All things ceased to flow in a balanced way.  Our disconnection from the Tree of Life had started.  Time saw our people starving and beaten into submission, the women were bartered like cattle. Women and children were sold for whisky and guns. Sacred bundles were taken by, or sold to, the Fat Takers.  Some to this day lay in museums in far away places, the medicine lost to the ones who understand the meaning it holds.

 The sickness spread into our lodges and continued to eat out our hearts.  The raven came and spoke to the people in a harsh loud voice asking them to listen to the voice of Creator. Their ears had grown closed to even the voice of the birds.  The signs of destruction in our family and our Nation were seen in the faces of our children.  .

 The sweet voices of our women silenced into darkness. Our children were taken and shipped off to schools that abused them and took their spirits.  The children were mocked and spit on in public. A great shame passed over the Nation once so proud.  The laughter died and our children went hungry for food and for wisdom. The language dried up and was sifted into dust on the land. The Sacred Ways held only by a few who risked their lives to continue the prayers.  Water no longer flowed with the sweetness that our Grandparents had tasted. The bitter roots of disease and greed grew where the once tall and strong Nation stood.

 One by one the Elders stood and pulled their blankets around themselves.  The Elders then turned their backs on the fire and left the people.  No one noticed, they no longer listened to the "Old Ways", it was not good to listen in this way to  the Elders.  Many were too busy ripping the land up and selling the precious minerals and water that lay under it.  The legacy of our children was sold for material gains.

 The Ego of a few was fed on the sorrow of many with the disease of the Fat Takers.  Brother and Sisters turned upon each other and the disease of the soul stealers had started.

 The Fat Takers bought some voices of the people to continue the process of destruction that waged a war of the souls. The Government GOONS were at work destroying their very own families and Sacred Ways.  Voices that dared to speak out against this were attacked by the followers of the ones who had taken their ears.  Soon the monsters had many chains of ears around their necks, each person who added their ears supported and helped the sickness to grow.

 The truth could not be heard or seen in all the confusion as they ripped the heart from the people.

 Sickness followed into the lodges, creating anger, jealousy and greed.  The Sacred Hoop of life that connected us all to the Sacred Tree was shattered. The rope that held the wisdom was stretched thin and held many knots.

 Now the gourd is taken out of hiding and the fires are rekindled. We sit in the circle waiting for the wisdom to return. Hollow words and anger pour out into the circle of our people.  All serving some self-appointed need to revenge ourselves on each other.

 The snake now catches its own tail and proceeds to devour the very wisdom it seeks to protect.  Will we manage to destroy the only thing we have left of our culture?  Will we, in our own need to heal the hurting, close ourselves away from the light of wisdom?

 I sit and watch this and listen with ears that are trying hard to hear the truth and the justice of the words.  I see much, and hear much, but the words that come before all things are yet to be spoken. The Elders stand in the distance with their blankets wrapped around them, shadows in the darkness, watching.

 When the wisdom returns to the Sacred Council Fire, when the words that come before all else are spoken, then will the Elders who still keep the wisdom of the Sacred Words return and sit with us.  I wait for you to return, I make a place ready for you to sit.  I will prepare the food for you to eat.  My heart cries out for the words that are waiting to be spoken. The old truth that will return reason to our people.  I am listening, my Grandfathers and Grandmothers, for your voices to Speak.  I sit with my ears, and heart, open for your healing wisdom.

Response to Protecting Ceremonies

 by

Ralph Christnot, Hataca Iyanke

Sicangu Lakota

Etahan Ikceya Oyate ki

POW # 19930

I have been gone from the reservation for more than forty years, in fact it is nearer fifty years. I graduated from Holy Rosary Mission on the Pine Ridge reservation on May, 20 1955, and went into Uncle Sam's Canoe Club that same fall. I spent the next 10 and ½ years serving our country. When I got out in 1966 I went to work for Ma Bell where I gave 28 years of my life. I married a Wasicu women and raised eight kids two girls and six boys. My oldest is going to be 42 and my youngest is 30.

 All those years away from the reservation were spent teaching my children about their Lakota heritage. When my dad was dying of lung cancer he came here to Wisconsin, and brought my Grandpa Roan Bear's ceremonial regalia. That was in 1973 and I have been using it ever since as a teaching aid.

 Some of my teachings came by way of my Grandma and Grandpa Roan Bear when I spent summers with them at the old Cheyenne Agency during the late '40s and early '50s. I went to the old boarding school a couple of years in the late '40s. Some of my teachings came by way of elders sitting under a trestle that ran across Rapid creek when I was in my late teens. We would have our feet in the water and be passing around a jug of wine. Those elders liked their wine, but they knew the Lakota ways.

 My grandma and grandpa Gerry lived along Rapid creek, and once in a while some of the elders and holy men from Pine Ridge and Rosebud would stop on their way to Bear Butte. This was right after the second world war and Jim Du Bray, Ben and Nick Black Elk were among those who would stop. All us kids knew was that Jim Du Bray was a cousin of our grandpa and that Ben was always at Mount Rushmore. We didn't know until many years later that grandpa Nick was the Black Elk who had a book written about his vision. Not one of the wicasa wakan introduced themselves as such. They came as ikceya wicasa, and they never passed themselves off as anything else.

 This whole flap about our ceremonies needing protection is a bunch of tabloka cesli. Apparently unknown to the defenders of the faith bishops Red Cherries and Looking Horse there are traditional ceremonies being done off the reservation. Just as a bit of information, there are more Indians living off the reservation than on. Some how or other the rez Indians have the mistaken idea that they, and they alone have the right to conduct our ancient ceremonies.

 Now these defenders of the faith are starting to tell others who is, and who is not qualified to do the ceremonies. By requiring blood quantum and language restrictions, they are introducing DOGMA into a spiritual way that has existed without it for thousands of years. By telling others how and what they must believe they are introducing DOCTRINE into our ancient spirituality. What these defenders of the faith should be doing is forgetting about the RIGHT and start using their gifts to teach their own people about their RITES.

 When the Christians couldn't get our ancestors to accept their religion they got the government to outlaw our ways. And now we have a bunch self proclaimed spiritual people signing a letter asking that same government to intercede for them. They have the audacity to tell people what Grandpa Fools Crow wanted to happen to our ceremonies. Grandpa Fools Crow would be the last person who would approve of this kind of petition. He wanted our ways to be shared with others regardless of their blood quantum. How else are others going to learn our ways if we tell them they are not allowed to become one of us? The 1978 Religious Freedom Act gave our ancient ceremonies the recognition that they were denied for so long. Having the government amending that document will do our people more harm than good.

 To the people who are trying to protect our ways I say "Our ways do not now or have ever needed protection. They do however need to be lived and taught. The spirit world will take care of those who are exploiting our ways." I know a couple of the exploiters, one is in bad health and the other died recently at an early age. Before you proceed too far down the path you have chosen remember the meaning of the Lakota symbol of the two triangles coming together at their points. I was taught that these were actually vortices or cones if you will, and the meaning is "What's in the heavens is on the earth and what's on the earth is in the heavens". I don't believe the spirit world has any blood quantum, language or rightness of worship in its requirements for entry into the after life.

 Hecetu welo
