On Oneness and the Spirit Within Crazy Horse (1840-1877) – Oglala Lakota Sioux Among these quotes is a personal favorite coming from the Crazy Horse (1840-1877), a great warrior against white settlers' subjugation and abuse of power. He has seen and participated in many battles such as the Fort Laramie Treaty in 1868 – Fetterman Massacre and Battle of the Little Bighorn. He was legendary within and outside the Lakota nation as a great warrior and defender of the sacred lands and native way of life. Here is the quote on suffering above suffering as well as a farewell to a friend, Sitting Bull: “The Red Nation shall rise again and it shall be a blessing for a sick world; a world filled with broken promises, selfishness, and separations; a world longing for light again. I see a time of Seven Generations when all the colors of mankind will gather under the Sacred Tree of Life and the whole Earth will become one circle again. In that day, there will be those among the Lakota who will carry knowledge and understanding of unity among all living things and the young white ones will come to those of my people and ask for this wisdom. I salute the light within your eyes where the whole Universe dwells. For when you are at that center within you and I am that place within me, we shall be one.” He was quoted saying this while he was with Sitting Bull, smoking the Sacred Pipe for the last time before his arrest and subsequent death.

were put up on the rims in Billings Montana by the Pretty Shield Foundation and Rocky Mountain Tribal Leaders council as a symbol of hope and a memorial to all those who have passed on in 2020. In the Apsáalooke way the teepee is our second mother who takes care of us and all who enter are blessed with good fortune and feeling! Prayer and comfort to all who have lost somebody this year.  Photo byJade Snell
