Lakota ...The Chosen People

Circle of drums beat to hearts joined in solemn union with the ways of the past. The Eagle flies overhead, reminding the Chosen People of their destiny. Elders share wisdom with their youth, filling them with strength to overcome the burdens, the pale-faces have pressed upon them. Sacred Vision Quests show the path the Great Spirit has designed for them. The White Buffalo appears, a sign of the return of the 'greasy grass' Hope never dies! The Chosen People live! *Tribute to all Native North Americans, my friends, my Brothers and Sisters.....
