Thiwahe Unk Unpi

Thiwáhe u?k'ú?pi (We are family) We tell no lies we realize the necessity of being true. We ignite wildfires with sacred words that soothe what troubles you. We take prisoners not hostages with a promise of release before death. We burn in lodges and offer what we need so that we may keep on drawing breath. Loco-motive in thoughts and deliberate in deeds we promote a militant philosophy. While black snakes slide through our countryside do not stress over dogmatic purity. Their organized religions and other cruel hoaxes drive too many to abandon hope. Can we save you brother from becoming just another statistic in a sniper’s scope?
