Lakota Elder Speaks Out

“Our First Nations People have to earn the right to pour the mini wic¹oni
(water of life) upon the inyan oyate (the stone people) in creating Inikag¹a

they are our spirit ancestors. They walk and teach the values of our
culture; in being humble, wise, caring and compassionate.”
