WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Frank. Thank you Diane and Deitmar!!!
Very much appreciated. It is so hard on the rez. They just want to keep the people down and did everything they could to stop our school. The tribe even broke into it and took some stuff they said was theirs. But we let nothing stop us. NOTHING. So every penny helps, literally. The dvds are doing well and helping us do some things. this winter is going to be even harder than last year, we could barely pay to heat the building and keep the internet on for the kids to use the computers. I am very afraid for this upcoming winter. I don't know how we will do it.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE BANNERS AND LINKS!

Yes, your opinion as you are obviously very knowledgable of your People's history and stories. it is so hard to know about men like Gall, Spotted Tail, Red Cloud, etc. If they were really sacrificing the old ways for the People, or for themselves. Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, etc there was no question. To me anyways.

if you are on the rez in the summer you WILL be cornered. I just was two weeks ago at a Sundance. I arrived with one of the singers and had to take the medicine that was offered. His wife laughed at me as I closed my eyes and prayed that I would not puke!! I respect the ways but but but ...well I have a hard time with it, thats all.

I am close with Oglala Thunder Hawk family. Chubbs Thunder Hawk is a very respected Oglala elder up in Porcupine. He lives right at the butte. I have seen pictures he has of his relatives but cannot remember if this photo you posted was one of them or not. i can ask him.

this is exactly right. Tiospaye means just that- ''community" and/or ''extended family"
in our case, after the battle at LBH a lot of our relatives, who were with Crazy Horse, went and settled near Porcupine SD. After his murder at Ft. Robinson, more of them came up here. The two headmen, Pahin and Sinte, who lived and rode with the tiospaye of Crazy Horse, were alloted the land and the Porcupine Tail District was born. All those people's names are still here. Thunderhawk, Young Bears, etc are all still here. Some are blood, but ALL are relatives.The center of the district is Evergreen, the Cokan of the Tiospaye. So, we may all be considered Oglala, but my gramps does not consider himself Oglala. He considers himself a Lakota, of the Crazy Horse band. He has another name he uses as well but I cannot remember it right now. There was a very big division between Red Coud, Young Man Afraid, American Horse, Spotted Tail etc-those who wanted to ''hang around the forts" and those who wanted to live the old way with Crazy Horse, etc.

ha ha this is great! Ladonna said it all! I am chippewa from micigan but considered Oglala from living and adoption on pine ridge but now living on rosebud which is really hard when I am on p ridge. This all has to do with people who did not think unilaterally like we all do now. My grampa told me "the white man is concerned with time, the red man is concerned with place."
