Chasing the Sun

I want to tell you something that began like this: {hello, the other day I heard a spirit- tell them he said FOLLOW ME. Many will come...many are the chosen one; are you ready? are you sure? I am Dakota....I am seven generations; my day will come, my day is the CHOSEN one. it is said that I will see you on the other side. The whirlwind breathes the spirit of everything that moves. Children are praying- sing with them. Don't worry pray for the wasicu's. For seven red arrows are the eagles heart feathers in the red stick medicine ceremony.

Black Tailed Deer

in the strong heart society there is one known as the buffalo eye. do the sweat lodge ceremony to speak with the stone turtle. you will see the Lakota sun dance at first light with the canupa. All my relatives... walk the red road, listen to the black road. call to grandfather spotted eagle among the natural people, and red eagle will allow elk trail to use the fire of no end

The Crow Song

Grey road red feather light. Stone eagle whirlwind horse. Found diamond flying sober in the sweatlodge. Real red tobacco carries many needs
