Secrets

By Scott Barta

Crazy Horse was full blooded and had, of course, coal black hair - as all "full-bloods" (despite what a white guy wrote in a "history book" - only to make it appear that a "full-blood" could not be so great and famous!). He was – as dictated by his Lakota Language – a Wica Sa “Red Man”, the same “color” as the Sacred Canunpa Stone (see Sacred Canunpa Stone).

The only Nakota (misnomer "Sioux") Thanksgiving Exercise (misnomer "ceremony") “held in the dark” is the Life Renewal (misnomer "sweat lodge"), which has a purpose for being enclosed to keep steam from the Grand Father Rock/Grand Mother Water connection.

There are no "secrets" or "hidden fantasies" in Nakota Thanksgiving Exercises; this “romanticism” and “witchcraft concept” has its roots and "history" from europe, etc., and brought by the pilgrims and early americans to Great Turtle Island (misnomer “western hemisphere”).

There was a time recently when the Nakota could not get together (against u.s. gov’t law) - not even to have a Meeting or a Give-Away (similar to today’s law prohibiting blacks from gathering in groups of more than two on a street corner). Boarding schools brought "god" and "prayer" to the Nakota (unfortunately; see 1851 Treaty for more info on this topic). Also, the Oyate Omniciye “Circle Meetings of the People were outlawed and finally, for the most part (except the Yankton DaNakota Nation), replaced with a “tribal council” in 1934 – through an illegal, Constitution-violating act of congress, to get the Indigenous women out of the decision-making circle and ancient manner of governing.

The concept of Grand Mother Earth has been oppressed ever since and replaced with “grandfather, god” and “secret, in-the-dark ceremonies” – keeping the people from Grand Mother Earth and their great ancient Ways.
