I have been following posts on here for a few years, and speak rarely, but I feel the need to just say it like it is.
Nature will always find a way...either we learn our proper place in nature and live according, or nature will remove us... Nature will survive and continue without us, but we will not without nature.
I have read many ideas of what the Lakotah should do, and have read and watched videos where people speak of recognition through the United Nations, and many other things that still embrace so called "civilization". We are to be good stewards, looking after GOD's Creation, living among GOD's Creation....STOP the destructive and dividing ways of so called "civilization"!

Agreed. We need to nourish this and be just a part not destroy it:

Lostspirit what a beautiful video.I love that song.We play it at work all the time.I dont understand man sometimes wanting to destroying our world. Don't people realize it is destroying us? But they don't seem to care-only caring about the money.We have a raccoon lately that comes to eat our scraps we throw outside.He is getting more and more comfortable being near us.He is realizing we are not going to hurt him.Last year we fed a coyote that came around.Animals are people,too.Jennifer
