More intel in from the South about Leonard Crow Dogs spiritual scam…

We are glad, HakiktaWin to see you have been sharing some of the intel on Leonard Crow Dog and his spiritual scamming apprentice cronies on your site that we have sent your way….. perhaps you could include another bit of telling info in the reference you made to Crow Dogs sidekick, Valerio Cohaila… who runs the “Pachamama Church ” in Peru.

 The same web site reveals that the cost per person for the Peyote Tipi Meetings-Ceremonies is $ 150.00 US per person.(About 2 months wages for a Native person in Peru… lucky enough to even have a paying job).

It is not unusual for these tipi meetings to have  30 to 50 & up to 70 people in them =  pretty good haul 5,000 to 10,000 dollars US for one night, in a country where the minimumwage is under 3 US per day!!

Obviously Cohaila has learned his marketing strategies well from his mentor, Showdog.

This is in line with what they charge for Leonard Crow Dogs ”Sun Dances” in Mexico, a country where 50% of the 10 million 1st Nations people have no income, those who do…. make 4.00  or 5.00 dollars US a day.

LCD’s cronies charge at least $300 US per vision quest, mandatory prerequisite for dancers to attend, there they pay an additional 1000 pesos ( $80.00 US) and even the supporters who don’t dance are charged 500 pesos or $40.00 US to just watch the show, with several hundred people in attendance.

And, their goal to replicate the Crow Dogs Paradise scene where the dancers sometimes number in the hundreds, pretty attractive business potential for 3rd World economies!!

& they-Crow Dogs cronie apprentices complain that other “unauthorized” people are copying their modus operandi!!

Just thought you would like to share this exploitation of Lakota Ceremonies by Leonard Crow Dog to the WORLD!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Yes, I would..thank you very much for sending me, HakiktaWin…this compelling information of LCDs disregard for true authentic Lakota protocols!

Heyoka Magazine 2006 Looking Back Woman Interview part one updated

LOOKING BACK WOMAN PART 1.  The Cannunpa Wakan-Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin updated

   Looking  Back Woman. Second from left. John Fire Lame Deer. Right

John Fire Lame Deer, and Tetuwan Oglala Ceremonial Chief & Holy Man, Frank Fools Crow were spiritual mentors of HakiktaWin-Looking Back Winyan.

John LeKay. Can you please tell me about your recollection of John Fire Lame Deer? Looking Back Woman:This is from the Northwest Indian News March 1974…… Dedication of Indian Lands at Ft. Lawton: Long ago at the beginning of creation the Great Spirit blessed this land. What we do today is to lay the foundation of the Great Spirit-Creator on this land until the earth crumbles.  With those words, Lame Deer, Lakota Holy Man and author of “Lame Deer–Seeker of Visions” consecrated the Indian land at Discovery Park in the sacred Lakota manner. With tremendous wisdom, humor and dignity, Lame Deer seemed to uplift the hearts of the almost 100 Indians and non-Indians who were present to a world far beyond the man-made world of steel & concrete. For 32 years, I have been praying to the Great Spirit for all humanity. If you pray to our Creator for thirty days, you will also begin receiving a vision for your life as I received 32 yrs. ago…… My favorite man in the Bible was Adam. You know, he didn’t have a mother-in-law…. I love you all. In return don’t love me. I’m a hell of a looking guy, but love the Great Spirit, who I represent. John Fire Lame Deer . Author of Lame Deer, Seeker of visions   After honoring the seven Cardinal directions, Lame Deer turned towards Seattle and said, “Noise, noise, noise. too much TV, radio, and man-made stuff.”  Then, turning towards the west, towards a small grove of bare trees on the Indian land, he said “The Great Spirit is on that side. Take your bedroll and sleep for a night among those trees. You will hear the Great Spirit speaking in the ways of the Spirit.” Concluding the ceremony which took place on Saturday, February 16th, 1974, the 70 year old Lame Deer said, “My last words to you are this. Be happy. This life passes very quickly. Turn to your brothers & sisters around you with a smile and reach out and shake their hand.” With this, Lame Deer smiled and walked through the crowd that was present, shaking everyone’s hand. After the ceremony a potluck dinner was shared in the old Indian way by all of those present, Indian and non-Indian. The spirit of unity seemed to echo Lame Deer’s own words: “We all must work together, both White and Indian, for we are all the children of the same Great Spirit, our Father, Creator. The event was sponsored by the United Indians of All Tribes Foundation. Written by Phil Lane Jr. who a Bahai & now an AIM supporter, & an endorser of Arvol Looking Horse hoax-fraud.     John LeKay: What is the Sacred Hoop? Looking Back Woman: The Sacred Hoop is the Circle of Life…continuance…….the fire without end. And, at the Center is the Cannunpa Wakan, the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin, the accompanying teachings & Sacred Lifeways. This is what it means to me….My Father was given the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin to carry, because he had the proper vision in 1970, shared that vision with Fools Crow, & that vision was to rebuild the Hoop of Life for all of mankind, & all living things upon Mother Earth….this is the destiny of this Cannunpa, because of the lightening bolts at the feet of the buffalo on the bowl…..purification of evil, is what David Swallow Jr. said about lightening….and the Thunderbeings, who protect that which is Sacred.   Martha Bad Warrior, Last blood line keeper of the sacred pipe. Black Elks daughter.   JL: Can you please tell me about the Cannunpa Wakan, (sacred pipe) Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin and what significance this Buffalo Calf Cannunpa holds for the Tetuwan Lakota people? LBW. See what Martha Bad Warrior had to say about the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin, in this rare… AIM & academia supressed book by Wilbur Riegert, The Quest For The Pipe of the Sioux, As Viewed From Wounded Knee. You will really like this. JL: Even AIM member, & Arvol Looking Horse supporter, David Swallow Jr said this about the Cannunpa:  ”That It is not a Pipe. A pipe is an English word that means many things. The Cannunpa is the blood of the Ancestors and the tree of life, and it has laws by which a person MUST live.  To load a Cannunpa, a person must not kill, must not have blood on their hands. The person must not have jealousy or hate in their heart or actions, and a person must never lie or fool the people or else the Cannunpa will turn around on that person”. JL: What are your thoughts on this? LBW: This is the way I have come to understand the actual events from my extensive Lakota historical & spiritual research. This is why Fools Crow did not want It carried by someone within the urban militant domestic terrorist AIM group, why Frank Fools Crow wanted the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin off reserve, and carried (by my Father, having the proper vision to carry It)…..and for good reason, look at the carnage & murders by AIM during the Seige of Wounded Knee 1973. AIM took over Wilbur Riegerts trailer home, burned all this information on Martha Bad Warrior at the Wounded Knee Museum, and the records in DC. on the Trail Of Broken Treaties (1972) about this part of our Tetuwan Lakota Spiritual history, it is my belief & opinion as a victim of AIM (rape) & witness to AIMs carnage & criminal activities, including murders…..it was to change history….so AIM & their US Government handlers could control that which is Sacred to 1st Nations people domestically & globally for US interests, & AIM financial enrichment…which is still ongoing with Leonard Crow Dogs spiritual scam in Mexico, Central & South America.  My question has always been why would the AIM & their Lakota members burn their own Tetuwan spiritual history, if our Tetuwan Ancestors are so dear…..especially Martha! Why would this be tolerated? Richard Two Elk’s interview, as a former AIM member is an eyeopener…..and, he also talks about Anna Mae Aquash’s murder by AIM. The interview is easy to access from my site, if you’d like to read it for yourself….. JL:. John Fire Lame Deer said: “Besides the Pte Hincala Huhu Canunpa this Elk Head family also kept a second, very sacred tribal Cannunpa, one among the first made from red pipe stone.  The way the White Buffalo Winyan had taught the people to make. This old Cannunpa served as a model for after which all the other Cannunpas are made. It has the feather of a Red Eagle tied to its handle. This brings to mind the eagle who rescued the only survivor from the flood, who gave birth to twins who, in turn, grew into the Tetuwan Sioux Nation. It also reminds us, the eagle is the symbol of wisdom, almost as important to we Tetuwans as the Buffalo. Therefore many of our medicine men therefore have a eagle feather tied to their Cannunpas.” JL:  Is this the Cannunpa one of the ones described by John Fire Lame Deer, the Cannunpa you are the caretaker of?   LBW: Yes, this is my understanding, that It is the authentic Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin, John Fire Lame Deer was there at my Lakota adult naming ceremony by Fools Crow. I also had the Keepers of the Sacred tradition of Pipemaking from Pipestone, Minnesota come all the way out to the West Coast to see what I carry, as they had information that corresponded with my information…..Riegert and Standing Eagle played a huge part in saving the true, accurate history of our Lakota Spiritual Legacy brought to the Lakota from our Father, Creator, & Whope, also called White Buffalo Calf Cannunpa Winyan. JL: So then. Arvol Looking Horse, the faux 19th Generation WBCP Keeper has the deteriorating Calf Pipe, made from the bone of the buffalo leg, eagle feather, 4 scalps and ear, etc, etc…. LBW: NO, Martha buried that, Arvol Looking Horse has nothing…as nothing authentic was ever passed to Lucy Looking Horse from her Mother Martha Bad Warrior, because Martha stated in Aug 1936, no one in her family was worthy to be the next caretaker of the Pte Hincala Cannunpa kin…because they were becomeing Christianized, as Martha Bad Warriors adopted Father, Red Hair-Elk Head had been, please note photos verifying this info on Twicpix on HakiktaWins photo album showing Red Hair Elk Head with a cruifix around his neck holding his personal Cannunpa, that Frank Fools Crow had passed to HakiktWin at her 1975 Lakota naming ceremony. At the completion of the 5 year series of WBCP Revial Ceremonies & accompanying Sun Dance Ceremonies Frank Fools Crow conducted begining at Pine Ridge in 1970, & finishing in 1975 at Green Grass, with the White Buffalo Calf Cannunpa Bundle being opened by Frank Fools Crow, Lakota Elders & spiritual leaders…annoucement in the Eagle Butte newspaper by Sidney Keith.  What has to be acknowledged here is…Arvol Looking Horse ws not present at these series of Revival ceremonies, because Arvol Looking Horse never had the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin…ever! Arvol Looking Horse was even denounced by his own Aunt, Beatrice Medicine, as being a fraud! Do you have the red stone pipe described by John fire Lame Deer. Is this the same pipe as the Cannunpa described by Martha Bad Warrior, with the engravings of a white buffalo head, turtle and the spider, or the Standing Buffalo facing the bowl Cannunpa?   Chief Arvol Looking Horse of the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota Nation. Black Elk. Author of Black Elk speaks LBW: What I know  for sure is, Arvol Looking Horses Grandmother, Lucy Looking Horse never was passed the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin….(watch the Marie Elk Head Fiddlers May 2, 2009 Utube video to verifiy this information.)  Martha Bad Warrior had Riegert in Aug.1936 witness & record which Cannunpa was the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Cannunpa & (which Cannunpa was the Seven Council Fires Council Cannunpa) both were made from catlinite. I carry the Standing Buffalo facing the bowl Cannunpa, named after the good Lakota man, named Standing Buffalo, when the Cannunpa first came to the Lakota by WBCP Winyan…this Cannunpa was the first catlinite Cannunpa, White Buffalo Calf Pipe Winyan taught the Chiefs to make (1550) from the blood of the people…please note, the bowl discription was changed in Riegerts book, Quest for the Pipe of the Sioux, As Viewed from Wounded Knee to  the Buffalo Cow Head bowl, with the stem having a spider, turtle, & buffalo head to protect the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin from being stolen again…but, what was actually passed to Andrew from Martha, & onto Fools Crow & his Uncle, Nicolas Black Elk remained the same, the Standing Buffalo facing the bowl with the lightening bolts at the feet of the Buffalo on the bowl…Black Elk was concerned, because of his accurate discription in Black Elk Speaks gave the correct discription, which made the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin vunerable to being stolen yet again, so the discription was changed to protect It from the US Government & their agents, the American Indian Movement. What I have is what Fools Crow had George Bryant/Standing Eagle make a template copy from (from the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin I have), then from that template he made the 14 Cannunpas for the Seven Council Fires Council (one for each, a man & a woman from each of the 7 tribes) were made from. Then, what I carry was returned to Standing Eagle, and It was repaired by cutting the bowl from the standing buffalo, then making the bowl replaceable….It was to be used in large ceremony, where many people smoke at one time…it is easy for the bowl to crack from the heat. But, it is like taking communion, and no one should be refused, unless they have blood on their hands. This was to ensure this piece of the Cannunpa, the lightening bolts at the feet of the Standing Buffalo, would remain with us for all time….to be used for the good of all mankind. That is why White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman taught us to make them from catlinite…..she knew what she brought us would deteriorate over time…. Now, what happened to Cannunpas Martha carried no longer remains a mystery…..the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin was passed to Andrew Dupris and his wife, as Wilbur let them use his car to fetch It from Green Grass in fall of 1936….Andrew Dupris passed It to a spiritual man of the Lakota…which was Fools Crow under the guidance of his Father & his Uncle, Nicolas Black Elk….my personal thoughts & opinion on this now are, Fools Crow took It to Canada to return the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin to the vortex, & to the Council Stones, of the Seven Council Fires at Turtle Mountain…..Manitoba….and, from this point, the description changed to the design I carry to protect It, (Black Elk Speaks came out about this time) and, the Cannunpas Standing Eagle carved for Fools Crow by Standing Eagle…..there is proof at Pipestone these two men, Fools Crow & Standing Eagle had more contact than previously thought, and eyewitness accounts from the Manitoba Sioux Valley Tetuwan-Sioux that Fools Crow was there with the Cannunpa I carry, after Martha Bad Warrior died in Oct 1936 is accurate.     Medicine men Frank Fools Crow and John Fire Lame Deer at the sun dance.                                                                                                  © Looking Back Woman     JL: Does the common Lakota people man or woman have a right to ask or see this Cannunpa or is this against the Lakota religion and traditions to enquire about these sacred things? LBW: Martha stated It was for the good of all mankind, this is why AIM destroyed Marthas image & took over Riegerts trailer home during the Seige of Wounded Knee…..Marthas true teachings which to me means all people are welcome to participate in praying with the Cannunpa Wakan….if also would mean they would be able to see and touch It to smoke It, eh? This is completely different than what is being taught today by AIM……When things are hidden & secret, they are easily manipulated. JL: Do you know  of anyone who has seen Arvol Looking Horse’s Canunpa or has photographed it recently? LBW: Martha allowed Riegert to photograph the Seven Council Fires Cannunpa, when she gave him the interview….he showed Lucy Looking Horse the photo he took after Martha died, and even though it clearly was Lucy Looking Horse also in the photo with her Mother, Martha and the Seven Council Fires Cannunpa…Riegert said Lucy Looking Horse denied being there or being in the photograph…though, Lucy before her death in 1966 did give the very same photo to Raymond Demallie via her Thin Elk relatives with a changed provenance, (this very photo which was a copyrighted photo of Wilbur Riegerts), & Demallie donated the photo to the Smithsonian with the wrong provenance accompanying it….as it remains in the Smithsonian today & the Smithsonian sells to the public with the wrong information. Riegert, knowing Andrew Dupris had the Canunpa passed to him, asked Lucy Looking Horse to see the Cannunpa Lucy was calling the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin, and you have to remember this is 1964, Lucy asked for a hundred dollars for Riegert to see the Cannunpa. He asked if It had the Spider,Turtle, Buffalo designs on the stem, Lucy said no…they-the Looking Horse family had another Cannunpa now for Ceremony. This is in Riegerts book….     Calvin Dupree holds pipe, (Looking back woman’s father) at the sun dance.                                                                                                              © Looking Back Woman   JL: Do you know if Martha Bad Warrior ever buried the old Canunapa, that was described as a foot long and deteriorating and made out of the buffalos left leg and the ankle bone bowl, 4 scalps, ear etc, that John Fire Lame Deer smoked in the shed with Martha?   LBW: My understanding is that is the Buffalo legbone Cannunpa Martha buried around the same time she passed the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin to Andrew Dupris…..It was the one John Fire Lame Deer speaks about seeing……. James Ritchie, archivist from Turtle Mountain researched eyewitness accounts of the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin, and no one has seen it in the possession of the Looking Horse family, (re: watch the Marie Elk Head Utube video to know why) only mention is in Lakota Woman, the book by Mary Crow Dog, Leonard’s (wife?) who wrote about some of the goings on during this time….I consider the source, as Leonard tried to get me to pay him 10,000 to come do ceremony for me…and I never requested a ceremony, or ever even contacted him, he got in touch with me….he did not know who I was, and treated me like one of those newager groupie girls, they were getting to pay big bucks for AIM to come do ceremony/healings. Leonard Crow Dog had lobbied Fools Crow to carry what was passed to my Father…stating it should be a full blood, not a half breed (check out AIMs own blood quantum, very little if any 1st Nation blood)……however, it was my Father’s commitment to his people, he was a Professor of Native Studies at the U of Lethbridge, and he had the proper vision to carry the Cannunpa in 1970….and, Fools Crow wanted It off reserve…but still available to him…and my Father always took It to Fools Crow when he needed it. There was a lot of traffic between Alberta and South Dakota during this time….my Father even got beaten up in Sheridan, Wyoming…and was really hurt, because he said it was a couple of the AIM guys he danced with between 1970-1975….. Fools Crow refused Crow Dog, because he did not want the AIM urban militant domestic terrorist faction to control our Spiritual Legacy….he saw the sickness….and he saw the future of what would happen…he did his best to prevent it by conducting those WBCPC & Sun Dances 1970-1975…and passing the “Staff of Power” back to the women, but the men refused to recognize the transfer…..and now AIM are our so-called Spiritual Elders….though AIM is not, for they have the blood of the innocent on their hands, which is against Tetuwan Lakota protocols & teachings!     JL: When you speak of Fools Crow and your Father not wanting the AIM urban militant domestic terrorist factor to control the Lakota Spiritual Legacy. Frank Fools Crow saw the sickness AIM would bring to the people and the negative influences AIM would bring to the future generations. What did he mean by sickness?  LBW: The abused became the abusers….Fools Crow saw AIMs exploitation of Lakota ceremonies & the faux Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin that is supposed to be carried by Arvol Looking Horse, saw AIM burn the Tetuwan Lakotas own spiritual history at Wounded Knee, & in D.C. and, eventually Frank Fools Crow & Katie’s own home was burned in 1973 also, it was in retaliation for NOT allowing AIM to control the authentic Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin….Fools Crow lost most of his regalia, and I am sure his special medicines he used to heal…..He and Katie were gone from home at the time…..good reading into the mind of Fools Crow, & how he did what he was able to do in his ceremonies is shared by Thomas E. Mails, he wrote two books on Fools Crow….and, one on the Hopi Prophecies….At the time Mails wrote the Hopi Prophecies, the Hopi still had their stone tablets, which now are said to be lost, with Leonard Crow Dog saying he has the one for the Red Race, Which I do not believe….Just make sure the book you aquire of Wisdom & Power, does not have the intro or foreward written by Russell Means…that reprint would be corrupted by the influences of AIM. I say these things because I knew these men, I saw what they did during these times…..I was ground zero, even though I was not right there in South Dakota, (AIM stayed with me on the Trail of Broken Treaties fall of 1972 on their way to D.C in Spokane)……had I been there, with the strength I have about being a woman, being equal to a man…..I’d have ended up like Anna Mae (who was found murdered in 1976 on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and became a martyr for American Indian civil rights)…..as it was,these peopleshould never have entered the arbor the following year, dancing again with my Father, during this series of Ceremonies Fools Crow conducted. You are to have lived a good life, not lying, cheating, stealing, or taking life……to dance, and this clearly was not the case with these guys. I have an interview with a former follower of Crow Dog, she tells me, when the Cannunpa was dug up, and Fools Crow sent someone to Crow Dog’s Paradise for them to come over to view It, none of AIM felt they were worthy….and, they-AIM stayed away….as they stay away today, because AIM fears the power of the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin! I have the letter from Crow Dog apprentice, Mary Thunder somewhere, I can share it with you……     Anna May Aquash was a Mi’kmaq activist from Nova Scotia, Canada who became one of the most active and prominent female members of the American Indian Movement (AIM) during the early 1970s. She was found murdered in 1976 on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and became a martyr for American Indian civil rights.     JL: How did your own path come about of being the Keeper? LBW: I believe it was a path for me to follow…..I’ll explain, after Father died….I had the Cannunpa up on top of a freestanding wardrobe overlooking the lake…..out of the bundle….It said it was tired of being wrapped up…so I set It on top to oversee all the goings on over Kootenay Lake overlooking at the Grandfather clouds over the lake & the mountains….and the eagles that hunted the Kokanee, landlocked salmon. Well, one day It jumped off…I had It secured, but It wanted to be moved. I moved her downstairs on my desk..still overlooking the lake. A few days later, I had a visitor, his name was Dan. He came in to sell me advertisement space in his tourist guide of things to do in the Kootenays…when he saw the Cannunpa on my desk. He said, “My friend James Ritchie would be very interested in seeing that…he is an archivist from Turtle Mountain.” Well, he had James call me, and we spoke many times about Bill Moncur, a white guy…that was given the Council Stones to protect by the Lakota, and made hunka…..James could not get him to reveal the whereabouts of the Stones….Bill was 90+, and was beginning to fail…. You see, if I had not been a Heyoka…grave consequences would have occured, however I & the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin, are very much alive & well today! That is only possible, because I am doing the will of Creator, the Tetuwan Ancestors, & what Frank Fools Crow set into motion…when he named me HakiktaWin. I asked James, have you offered him tobacco? I said the Hunoup speaking Holy Men of the Bear Medicine Societies would have taught him our customs…they had made him Hunka! For an Elder to share with you, you need to pass him tobacco…it is a sign of respect, and understanding of the ways. So, James goes back to Bill Moncur…hands him tobacco…and he tells James everything…including the location of the Stones…concreted into a wall in his driveway…. In 2002, I put the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin and the Council Stones together again after nearly a hundred years….and from there we have learned a lot about how it all ties together….. James has played a major part as historian/archivist in recording my Dupree-Dupris-Dupuis family history & linage, and how the Dupree family ties into the White Buffalo Calf Prophesy….he has a file a foot thick after all these years, and much has come to pass, that I shared with James early on. He has it all recorded, and Turtle Mountain in Manitoba, on the 49th parrel, on the medicine line…is a vortex, that is why there were the medicine wheels there upon the heritage landscape. That is what the cone designs on the Cannunpa bags/bundles mean…”What is in the heavens is here on earth, and what’s here on earth is in the heavens.” This is where Fools Crow went when he tried to rebuild the Seven Council Fires after Martha Bad Warrior died in 1936, by having those 14 Standing Buffalo facing the bowl Cannunpas made by Standing Eagle….and without the signature of Standing Eagle, we would not have had anything to bring us full circle to Pipestone, and the Keepers of the Sacred Tradition of Pipemaking. Standing Eagle’s apprentice verified what I had been told…..they came all the way out to the Westcoast to see for themselves the Cannunpa, and they were satisfied it is as I say…the President of Keepers went one step further, and I am so glad he did…he went around to all the old carvers still working the quarry…and asked about Martha’s Cannunpa design, and what they knew to be the truth about the Buffalo Calf Pipe…he was sent a packet from a very old Elder carver…in the packet was Wilbur A. Riegert’s book with the same information. This is how the medicine works, eh? Had I not a been heyoka…and did the opposite, by taking the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin out of the Bundle to breathe…..I’d never have learned what I have as far as the authenticity of my research….and, the ability to expose the contradictions & lies of Arvol Looking Horse fraud. We now know what has transpired since Martha passed the catlinite Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin to Andrew Dupris, & Andrew on to Frank Fools Crow, & his Uncle, Nicolas Black Elk….and, also that AIM tried to destroy the Seven Council Fires Cannunpa…they mistakenly thought was the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin. Standing Eagle   This picture was painted by Charles Bird King, 1824. Sleepy Eyes (Eshtahumbah) was born near present-day Mankata, Minnesota, and died at Roberts Couty, South Dakota. Sometimes given as a Warrior and sometimes as a Chief, Sleepy Eyes was a member of the 1824 Sioux delegation to Washington led by Chief Little Crow. His name can be found on the Prairie du Chien treaties of 19 August 1825 and 15 July 1830 and the 30 November 1836 St. Peters Treaty. Born in 1780 at Swan Lake in Nicollet County, Chief Sleepy Eyes (ish-Tak-Ha-Ba) was said to be a kind and friendly person, large, muscular, six feet two inches tall.   JL: What are these 7 Council Fires Councils? LBW: The Seven Council Fires would be of the Lakota/Nakota/Dakota, the Council Stones represent this governing body that was in place until Chief Sleepy Eye died without a successor during the Indians Wars.  It was never reestablished, because of the genocide occurring…it was Fools Crows dream to reestablish it to govern the use of the Cannunpa Wakan-Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin…hence the 14 Buffalo Calf Cannunpas Fools Crow commissioned Standing Eagle to make….one for a man and one for a woman of each of the Seven, under the banner of the Seven, there are 32 sub-bands. It would be the responsibility of the 14, appointed by their commitment to community service and lifestyle, to attend to the needs and concerns of the 32 sub-bands.   It would be the democratic process we had in ancient times…like when the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin (in approx. 1550) came to the people. JL: Going back to what you said earlier about Sacred ceremonies and money. Why shouldn’t a modern day medicine man/woman, or a Keeper of the original Sacred Cannunpa, charge $10,000, or 150 per head, for conducting these sacred pipe ceremonies? LBW: It comes from the Creator…..the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin, the accompanying ceremonies and teachings, he did not charge us…but, Creator did leave instruction on how we were to teach others & protocols of using the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin….and that did not include charging for ceremony or paying to pray! If people have noticed, nowhere do I charge for anything I share & educate people against exploitation of the Sacred, nor do I charge anyone who comes to me in a respectful manner to be healed by the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin. It is ok to take care of the spiritual persons travel expenses, associated with his accepting your filled Cannunpa, for a healing…. The other (Leonard Crow Dog), charging 10,000, should be associated with a speaking engagement, not ceremony….but they’ve (AIM) mixed it all up, and together. There are real medicine people, who will do nothing like that…like Pete Catches Jr, and Godfrey Chipps was recognized by Lame Deer, as having the ability, unfortunately that ability has been misused & he is currently incarcerated….there is a huge difference between education and exploitation…. What needs to be understood, if you misuse your gift from Creator, you & your Oyate will suffer the consequences.  JL:  Has your speaking out now have something to do with the fulfillment of the 7th Generation Prophecy?   LBW: This is the feeling of those who write me, I feel we have a wonderful opportunity to embrace one another through the teachings WBCP Winyan brought to us, with the Cannunpa Wakan. We Tetuwan Lakota don’t want just a figure head, representing what the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin used to mean…..I want the power of the Cannunpa used for the good of mankind and Mother Earth….we need to make a decision as people, if we want a future for our children…because, it isn’t looking too good for them. Desire for money, celebrity & fame is the reason….we are killing ourselves over our desire for material wealth. We are allowing someone outside ourselves….to decide what is important for us as people…we can’t eat money, we can’t breath money….we can’t drink money, period. We need to change how we think, and how we create our reality….     JL:  What are your thoughts on the recent birth of the white Buffalo calf and what does this mean to you as the authentic Keeper of the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin? LBW: There has been many white buffalos born since the birth of Miracle……we are being given a second chance…..and if we unite collectively in purpose and intent, following the Teachings WBCPW brought to us, and we use the Cannunpa as instructed, and we acknowledge responsibility for our desire for money over the Creator’s will…and do something about it now…we may change the course of events that threaten Mother Earth. Every person who carries a Cannunpa should be filling that Cannunpa for the illness that Mother Earth is enduring….when she suffers, we suffer….we and it, is all connected…if something is lost though our thoughtlessness, and we create an imbalance….there is an imbalance in all things….and we are there now.     JL: What do you think is the solution to all this Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin controversy and conflict? LBW: Look at this….. Proclamation Regarding The Keeping of The Sacred Pipe, this would not have occured if I, HakiktaWin had not come forward with the truth about the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin, however it is too bad the Lakota still believe Arvol Looking Horse has the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin…it is obvious, they have not viewed Marie Elk Head Fiddlers Utube video of May 2, 2009. Whereas, a meeting was convened by the Sicangu Lakota Grass Roots Oyate on October 21st, 2006, on the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Reservation in South Central South Dakota, whereby approximately 100 people were in attendance from the Lakota, Dakota, Nakota Oyate which included Naca Itahcan Ominiciye, Traditional Chiefs and Headsmen, Treaty councils, Tetuwan Sioux Nation Treaty Council, Spiritual leaders and other organizations and lineal descendants of our chiefs, elders and First Ladies of our Nation, Whereas, it was demonstrated at that meeting that the current said Keeper(s) of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe have used It as a fund-raising tool for personal causes and financial gain, Whereas, it was demonstrated that the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe which was given to the People as an instrument of peace, healing and understanding, has been used instead to promote the interests of the Keeper(s) without regard for the People, Whereas, the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe has been kept secret and not used in public Sacred ceremony for the benefit of the People as it was intended and has traditionally been employed since it was entrusted to the People, Whereas, the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe has been employed by the Keeper(s) as a symbol of authority for pronouncements and activities which have caused strife among the People, man against man, man against woman, woman against woman, and woman against man, against to the teachings of The White Buffalo Calf Woman and the Sacred purposes of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe, and Whereas, it has been and is amply demonstrated that only continued controversy, strife and ill feelings will accrue if the current holder(s) of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe continue to carry the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe, Be it Resolved, that the holder(s) of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe be apprised that the People no longer wish the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe to be carried in this way, disrespectful to the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe, the ways of the Lakota, Dakota Nakota Oyate, and the right principles and laws taught and respected by the People, and Be it further Resolved, that it is the desire, will and instruction of the People that a new holder be chosen to carry the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe who will be respectful of It, Its purposes, uses and intents, reflecting the ways of the Lakota, Dakota Nakota Oyate in a good way without any hint of disrespect, and free from personal financial or other interest save dedication to right keeping, and Be it further Resolved, that is shall be the duty of the Naca Itahcan Ominiciye, Traditional Chiefs and Headsmen, Treaty councils, Tetuwan Sioux Nation Treaty Council, Spiritual leaders and other organizations and lineal descendants of our chiefs, elders and First Ladies of our Nation, to choose a suitable keeper to ensure the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe is carried in the right way, accessible to the People and prominently used in Sacred Ceremony, as intended and instructed by the While Buffalo Calf Woman, and Be it further Resolved that should the Naca Itahcan Ominiciye, Traditional Chiefs and Headsmen, Treaty councils, Tetuwan Sioux Nation Treaty Council, Spiritual leaders and other organizations and lineal descendants of our Chiefs, Elders and First Ladies of our Nation, meeting on the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Reservation in South Central South Dakota, choose to not take action by a designated date, or by choosing an interim Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe until the matter is finally decided, that it shall be the right and duty of the Lakota, Dakota, Nakota Oyate, including Spiritual leaders and other organizations and lineal descendants of our Chiefs, Elders and First Ladies of our Nation, Ehankehan omniciye kte lo, meeting in traditional way, to settle the issue for the Seven Counci l Fires of the People and present themselves for keeping the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe, taking physical custody of  the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe and ensuring It is kept in the right way…. Please note: If you intend to take physical custody with what  Arvol Looking Horse says he has, you will not have the original Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin, Mitakuye Yapi! www.lookingbackwoman.ca        lookingbackwoman@hotmail.com

How the truth fails to remain hidden….

All truth passes through three stages…
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as self evident.

The fact is historical breakthroughs are always ridiculed, & violently opposed.

History proves that it takes decades before any new discoveries or hidden truths become generally accepted in academic circles…academia is slow learners….

(Sometimes it will not be accepted at all, if it challeges the academics already written perception of our spiritual & cultural Tetuwan Lakota history)….a real career breaker….if you are the expert.

New discoveries, or the actual truth is always critized, debunked, & discredited…

However, if what is denied, actually exists & eventually comes to the surface, just as any truth will eventually surface despite acts to hide it….a new day will dawn for the Tetuwan people & all of mankind who embrace it.

First they ignore you,
then, they laugh at you,
then, they fight you….
Then, You Win!
Ghandi

I, HakiktaWin have had my accurate Tetuwan Lakota historical & spiritual information ignored,
I have had it…the truth, & myself laughed at,
They, AIM, ALH & academia have fought me..or tried to.
Now, the truth about AIM, ALH & the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin  comes forth!

The stones(rocks-Inyans) in ceremony, the Ancient Cannunpa Song….accompanies the Council Stones & 7 Council Fires Council information

In conjunction with the 2006 Heyoka Magazine part two LBW Interview…the 7 Council Fires Council & the 7 Council Stones…

Seven Council Fires and the Seven Council Stones

————————————————————————————
The Seven Council Fires are the mainstream Dakota national government, and
traditionally the seven seats would have been held by: 4 Dakota; 2
Nakota and 1 Lakota.

Since these sub-national bodies are split today between Canada and the US,
it would be thought, to take a representative body drawn from all of them to
legitimately reconstitute the Seven Council Fires. (Dakota contacts there regard
the Lakota as at best only 1/7 of this body, regardless of how
many people they actually are today.)

(Note that the Canupawakpa elders caution that there would have been some
dissembling in order to protect vunerable individuals, but the overall structure
should be right.)

IF this group was patriarchial as many traditional Dakota elders maintain,
then this body was composed only of men.
However, Carver’s testimony from 1767-68 is very clear that there was a
council of women elders because his treaty negotiations had to be ratified
by them as well.

When the Assiniboine seceded from the Seven Council Fires they lost
their seat, and the redistribution gave the Yankton Nakota one seat,
and the Yanktonai Nakota one seat.

(Frank Brown, a Yankton, wants to make it very clear that the “Assiniboine”
are a political seperation and not an ethnic one, and so there may never have
been a clearly defined border. Families would have been divided.)

Three Affiliated Tribes
———————–
Refers to the Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara consortium and so it was
international in its own right, but did not apparently belong to the Seven
Council Fires. (But as was discussed, the Mandan and Hidatsa are clearly Tetuwan (Siouan),
so the overall Tetuwan(Siouan)civilization is bigger than the Seven Council Fires.)
Also today, any Mandan or Hidatsa within our province have been reabsorbed back into
the Manitoba Dakota.

Council of Seven Stones (also called Council of All Nations)
————————————————————-
Some informants (mostly the non-Dakota ones) refer to this body as a
government. Dakota traditional elders however maintain that it was a trade
organization, and not a government as such.
Cree scholar William Dumas says it was an international government. Dakota scholar
Frank Brown characterizes it as a Chamber of Commerce. There is no doubt it existed,
although its exact role probably changed over time.

Frank Brown states that it may have started out as purely a trade
organization. However, trade required peace treaties and so it would
inevitably have been drawn into treaty negotiations — a government function.
The local lore around Turtle Mountain Manitoba is also very clear that at the end
of the “Indian Wars”, say 1850-1900, the Council of Seven Stones assumed the role
of a Refugee Relief Agency either because it had international representation and/or
the regular government bodies among the Dakota had collapsed and could not deal with
the scale of the problem.

The tradition is quite clear that this body was composed equally of men AND
women. Each nation appointed one women and one man as their representatives,
and a criteria for full membership on the council was that you had to be
married to someone from one of the other nations (not your own.) So
whereas the Seven Council Fires patriarchial tradition might limit the government
to “pure bloods” as it were, the Seven Council Stones tradition was almost the reverse.
William Dumas also maintains that except for the cross-cultural marriage
clause, each member nation would have had its own method of appointment -
inheritance, society, or whatever.

Bill Moncur (1910-2001) maintained that the seven men and seven women intermarried
with each other, that must have been the ideal and it is realized is that no actual
system ever fully meets its stated objectives.

The membership of the Seven Council Stones prior to 1800 appears to have been:
Mandan; Hidatsa; Ojibway; Cree; Dakota (7 Council Fires); Blackfoot and
possibly Assiniboine as a seperate entity.

By the time it adjourned in 1944, the Council had altered somewhat with the
Blackfoot replaced by the Turtle Mountain Chippewa as distinct from the other
Ojibway. The Mandan and Hidatsa were consolidated into one seat, and the
remaining seat was left “for everyone else”.

According to what we’ve been able to reassemble from the oral history, each
member took a title/name which evoked some meaning of “Rattle” and/or “Sitting
Eagle.” (George Bryant, master carver from Pipestone, Minnesota, as “Standing Eagle”
is probably a good candidate to have belonged to this body, but it is not known for
sure.) It’s also unclear whether there was any rank or functional difference between Rattlers and Sitting Eagles.

The last known (male) members on the incomplete list were:

other nations – possibly Bill Moncur (but he said himself this was stopgap and
he did not become a full member.)
Mandan/Hidatsa – unknown
Ojibway – Little Shell II
Cree – (Sitting Eagle)
Dakota – Charlie Chaske “Wamdi Iyotaka” (Sitting Eagle)
Turtle Mountain Chippewa – unknown
Assiniboine/Stoney – John Hunter (Sitting Eagle.)

It’s much harder to reconstruct who the women were as they tend to fade
into the background. It is certain however that Charlie Chaske, the last Dakota
Sitting Eagle, was ritually married to a “Mrs. Sitting Eagle” who was a member of the
Turtle Mountain Chippewa band. It is also known for certain that the last Cree
Sitting Eagle was married to a Dakota “Mrs. Sitting Eagle.”

It is not known who Little Shell II and John Hunter were married to, but Bill Moncur was
certain about their membership as he met both at their meetings.

When you’re reading the history of the Dakota-Ojibway War I,
you’ll see how important the mixed blood Dakota-Ojibway people such as Wanatan
and Wabasha are to negotiating peace and trade. If they weren’t members
of this council, I suspect they are the pattern on which it was based.

The traditional Dakota position, is that the Stones
themselves are beings in their own right, and that they (not the humans) are the original
members. In this view, the 14 men and women would be assistants to the Stones
themselves.

Bill Moncur said that all fourteen members of the Seven Council Fires were
pipe carriers, so that’s a lot of pipes that would have to be made/replaced
as occasion demanded.

There is only one pipe from this group surviving in the museum
collections here but it is assumed that there must be others. The one here, a clay one
with the Thunderbird/Weeping Eye motif wrapped around the bowl, was according to Bill
the pipe which represented the entire council.

The impression is that the Rattlers tended to be more like heralds, but it is not
known for sure. In 1800 Matche-go-whe-wub (Many Sitting Eagles) was apparently
chairman of the board at that time and was also called Le Sonnant (the
Rattler)so he must have used both titles interchangeably. (He signed the
Selkirk treaty in 1817 with both names, and was painted by Karl Bodmer in about 1840.)

Charlie Chaske took the Dakota name Wambdi Iyotaka (Sitting Eagle) when he
joined the council in about 1914-1916. However, his grandfather who proceeded
him on the Council took the name Hadamanie (He Rattles As He Walks.)

As for eye witnesses: Bill Moncur met all of them in the 1920s, but could only
remember Charlie Chaske (and his wife), Little Shell and John Hunter
specifically. Gordon Wasteste recalled Charlie Chaske and John Hunter.
(Wasteste by the way is part-Ojibway and probably a descendant from this
group.)
William Dumas trained under the last Cree Sitting Eagle.

Frank Brown, seems to be of the opinion that if you met the criteria for membership
in the Seven Council Stones, it would pretty much rule you out for being part of the
Seven Council Fires.

2006 Looking Back Woman Heyoka Magazine Interview updated…what a difference 6 yrs makes.

Continued from part one

LOOKING BACK WOMAN  PART 2

  

JL: On page 72 of the (1975)  Wilbur Riegert book Wilbur writes:”At that meeting Wilburs Mother was with Wilbur, standing behind Martha Bad Warrior, the other Lakota people & family of Martha. Wilburs Mother was inexpressive throughout everything, but later she spoke to Wilbur of words related by Martha to the Elk Head brothers, interpreters for Wilbur.  A message that none of Martha Bad Warriors Lakota family were worthy to become the next Keeper of the Sacred Calf Cannunpa.” Do you interpret this last line of what was translated, as meaning none of Marthas own Lakota people or family were unworthy….. LBW: This quote came from Martha Bad Warrior in Aug 1936, & taken & quoted from Wilburs book, Quest for the Pipe (1975) from conversations Wilbur had with Martha Bad Warrior before her death in Oct. 1936. LBW: I want to point out here, I did not say the “entire” Lakota race was unworthy, those are accusations & words of angry people–& are not my words–& those words will not be repeated again here, they were originally said by Martha Bad Warrior about her own family…. I never said those words. Our Lakota Nation has suffered enough at the hands of AIM & whom AIM serves…. lest we Tetuwan Lakota start to destroy ourselves more than we already have, & play into the very hands of those who would rather have the entire Tetuwan Nations not exist. We are speaking of Tetuwan historical data, & the concept of worthiness & honesty amongst our Tetuwan Lakota Nations had deteriorated through continued systemic cultural abuse. This abuse as you know, as in all abuse cases–those abused begin to perpetrate the abuse they felt amongst their own relatives & in Residential school by the priests & the nuns. The conditions on the reserves & the level of mistrust was epidemic, while at the same time Tetuwan people were trying desperately to survive spiritually & culturally in extremely dire conditions.

Martha Bad Warrior

JL: You said earlier on in your Heyoka Interview that you believe Andrew Dupris passed the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin, the Cannunpa Wakan Martha carried & protected, along with the teachings from White Buffalo Calf Cannunpa Winyan of the origin, linage, description, & ceremonial use of the original 2 Buffalo Calf Cannunpas (one was made from a buffalo leg bone, the other from catlinite, the blood of the people called pipestone) to Fools Crow. This is out of the  Wilbur Riegert book, Quest for the Pipe of the Sioux, As Viewed From Wounded Knee Page 92  So several days after Wilburs experience at the home of Martha Bad Warrior at Green Grass, Andrew (Dupris) & his wife came to Wilbur asking if they could use his car for the evening. This request Wilbur granted them immediately. Wilbur asked no questions, the Dupris offered no reason for the request. Wilbur trusted Andrew, Wilburs bestfriend completely, as Andrew had proven himself trustworthy as a kinsman aught, just as did the Larrabies, Elk Heads, Iron Lightening, Fielders (LBWs Lakota Unci was a Fielder) & others.  Wilbur often thought of how often these friendships started. There was one explanation, it seemed:  The part Wilbur played in running down information in Lakota family trees on the reservation, & in supervising the distribution of food & clothing during the drought of the 1930s at Cheyenne River Agency.   It was late at night when Andrew Dupris & his wife brought back the car & awoke Wilbur on their arrival with the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin. They said they had gone to Martha Bad Warriors,  at her home in Green Grass. It was a meeting by appointment at Marthas request, they told me.  Now, the surprise of  a life time.  They brought forth a Sacred object wrapped in a piece of calico striping. As they unraveled It, they were exposing to Wilbur the original Sacred Calf Cannunpa, for It had the exact markings described to Wilbur by Martha & through the teachings of White Buffalo Calf Cannunpa Winyan. I asked Andrew to fill me in with the details.    Andrew said to Wilbur that Martha Bad Warrior placed the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin in Andrew Dupris hands at Green Grass, & Andrew & his wife went out together to a high hill near Marthas home, & paid homage to Creator in prayer, saluting Him to the Four Directions & the Universe, directing the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin to the West, North, East, & the South, up to the Heavens where Creator resides, & lastly to Mother Earth, where all things that sustains man & all life comes from. Afterwards bowing in great reverence to the greatness of the Great Mystery, Wakan Tanka, they turned & went back to Wilburs car they had borrowed. From there they returned to where Wilbur was, Cheyenne River Agency in Eagle Butte, South Dakota.    “Wilbur” said Andrew, Rest assured…. I will leave the Cannunpa Wakan-Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin in the hands of a trusted one. He is an Indian & known by many as a true friend of the Indians. JL: Is this “trusted one” who you have interpreted as being Frank Fools Crow. If so, how did you come to this conclusion? LBW: I believe Andrew was speaking of Fools Crow. Fools Crow was recognized very young for his spirituality & ceremonial abilities. FFC would’ve been 46 years old or so, when Andrew passed the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin to him & his Uncle, Nicholas Black Elk….FFC not a kid. FFC was at Turtle Mountain, Manitoba in the 1930s after Marthas death, trying to rebuild the 7 Council Fires Council, our Tetuwan Governmental body….Fools Crow was 100 in 1989 when he died, he’d have been born about the time of the Masscare of Wounded Knee (Dec 1890). It makes sense the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin would go to the nephew of Nicolas Black Elk….when, at around the same time of the passing from Andrew to Frank & Nicolas, Nicholas Black Elk came out with the first book…. Black Elk Speaks & later… The Sacred Pipe, about the Seven Sacred Ceremonies of the Lakota, & the teachings from White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman, co-authored with Joseph Eppes-Brown….And, of course the very important 1936 recording of Lakota history, spirituality & culture by Wilbur A. Riegert, Quest for the Pipe of the Sioux, As Viewed From Wounded Knee (1975) & his earlier publication, I am a Sioux Indian (1967). JL: When you said Fools Crow passed your Father, Professor Calvin Dupree his Ceremonial Sun Dance Cannunpa, because your Father had the proper vision to carry the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin. Do you see Fools Crow Ceremonial Sun Dance Cannunpa as a substitute for the Cannunpa Martha passed to Andrew, since no one knows where that is at this time (2006)…. LBW: From further interviews & information from respected Tetuwan Lakota Oglala Elders such as Beatrice Medicine, Arvol Looking Horses aunt, & Phil Lane Sr, from Phil Srs conversation with Stanley Looking Horse, both Tetuwan Elders, a man & a winyan…both separately have shared with LBW, that the Cannunpa Wakan she carries for the Tetuwans & all of mankind… is THE Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin. Along with more Tetuwan Lakota Elder verification from an Elk Head, later on May 2, 2009 revelation… the most compelling information of the more recent Utube video of Marie Elk Head Fiddler, who set the record straight, that Arvol Looking Horse is NOT the 19th Generation White Buffalo Calf Pipe Keeper….http://youtu.be/PuUloHVYMbc  JL: Do you see a problem with the fact you live in Canada, & not in South Dakota, where the Tetuwan Lakota people live & practice most of their ceremonies, etc? LBW: The Border that exists today did not, when our Tetuwan Nations roamed the grasslands, & what is very important is the understanding of what Turtle Island & Turtle Mountain mean to this question…. Also, AIM & Arvol Looking Horse travel globally with their faux-fraudulent Lakota ceremonies of paying to pray-Lakota ceremonies for cash, including into Canada. Being spiritually Lakota has nothing to do with where one is geographically, it is where one is within their relationship with our Father, Creator, & in daily practice of our Lakota faith… of the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin.  The place called Turtle Mountain is the geometric & geographical center of North America – Turtle Island.  So, no I do not see a problem with where I live. What is very important is WHY…. that I am NOT living within my Tetuwan Lakota Nation….it is because our Lakota spirituality has been hijacked & manipulated for profit by the American Indian Movement & their pawn…Arvol Looking Horse…re: watch Marie Elk Head Fiddlers Utube Video.  I am a Woman standing in a place that the men of my Lakota Nation, who call themselves Wakan & created “the Protection of Ceremonies Proclamation” — would not permit me to be alive, or be who I am, denying me my very birthright & authentic Lakota linage…. They, AIM & Arvol Looking Horse would say I am not allowed to do what I am doing, (they have tried to stop me) & AIM & ALH would try to disgrace & destroy even more than they alreay have of what is Sacred to my Lakota people by attacking me. I am a Woman whose father’s grave was desecrated in the search for these Sacred Cannunpa Bundles -by the so-called traditionalist of AIM, & fraud, Arvol Looking Horse.  I am a Woman who sent a magnificent homozygous Paint stallion home to my Lakota Nation on LOAN, to help my Lakota relatives breeding program, & to carry the Spirit of my Father home - to be free, & returned to the land of his Ancestors - & the Paint stallion was MURDERED, while in the care of my Lakota relatives, Gene & Fay Reeves & Lance Lestmister, who reside outside Eagle Butte, South Dakota….they never offered anything to me, once they had what they needed & wanted from the stallion & myself, or to try to replaced the stallion, or pay restitution for his loss to me, I was only told rudely…. I was not enough Lakota to do anything about the stallions death while in their care, or seek restitution, by my Lakota relative, Fay Reeves of the Staple Triangle Ranch in 2001.  I am a woman who does not live in my Traditional Tetuwan Lakota lands, & while I was trying to help my so-called Lakota people (AIM) in 1972 with lodging, in my 17 year old innocence- I was violated by the very (AIM) men who claim to be Sacred, & who is carrying us toward this blueprint of Christian fundamentalism by: Setting out twelve Wakan (Sacred) men of the 2003 Proclaimation, dismissing women from all levels of Ceremony & Sacred Council, & calling for the very US Government that attacks the Lakota, by employing these very AIM men to regulate our Sacred Ceremonies. I am a Woman given these Sacred Cannunpa Bundles to carry for our Tetuwan Nations, & I am a Woman alive today, because I do not live on our Traditional Tetuwan Lakota Nations Lands. JL: When you said earlier about wanting to use the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin to unite the Tetuwans of 7 Council Stones & the Seven Council Fires Council. Have you been preparing for this? LBW:  Yes, I have been planning & preparing for this since 1994 with my contacts in Manitoba at Turtle Mountain, & Tetuwan Lakota supporters, mentors, relatives & Oyate….once I verified beyond any doubt what I have is, what I have been told by my Tetuwan Elders It is….the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin. I want it known here that : I am the person who raised this Vision to life of the SEVEN Council Fires Council being rebuilt & about the accompanying 7 Sacred Stones that go with this Sacred Council, to be remembered & acknowledged once again…as an instrumental part of our Tetuwan Governmental body, as it was in our Tetuwan Lakota Ancestors time…  It is during this ceremony that the Sacred Standing Buffalo Facing the bowl-Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin Bundle will be opened to those worthy to represent their respective Nation within our Tetuwan Lakota people. I will also state very clearly no person with blood on their hands will enter this Sacred Council, nor ever touch the Sacred Cannunpa Wakan – AND, THAT IS WHY THE BUNDLE AND I ARE NOT AT HOME at Cheyenne River, & are under the Blanket of Protection of Warrior Societies here on the Northwest coast of Turtle Island. There are “Broken Arrows” in our Nation at this time – that have entered the very heart of our Tetuwan Lakota People – this is the time to heal & help our Tetuwan Lakota Nations & all HER people….& no longer enable the biggest hoax-frauds in history, named the American Indian Movement & Arvol Looking Horse…  It is the time to  REMEMBER ALL THESE SACRED TEACHINGS CAME FROM A WOMAN FROM OUR FATHER, CREATOR to be used until the end of time- or has everyone forgotten this? JL: What do you see it is the logic & reasonable outcome for Tetuwan Lakota spiritual ceremonies needing regulation by the US government, & not by your own Lakota  people?   LBW: I see no logic in it at all for our Tetuwan ceremonies needing regulation….it is in a word called….corruption. We, Tetuwans have had the right to practice our Tetuwan Lakota ceremonies-faith which was reinstated over 35 years ago, since 1978. If Lakota are to regulate our spiritual ceremonies, the Lakotas doing the regulating, must NOT have any involvement in the fraudulent American Indian Movement….which have blood of the innocent on AIMs hands, against authentic Traditional Tetuwan protocol & the instructions-teachings of our real Tetuwan Chiefs & Holy Men of the Hunoup speaking Bear Medicine Societies. When the corruption began in earnest…that was just about the very time that these Hollyweird faux-phoney, blood quantum lacking so-called 1st Nations Indians starting looking for their own Disney Land in Indian Country across the US & Canada, (now globally)….& using AIMs (stolen) Cannunpas like brooms sticks…. flying off all over the place – but, especially at the mouth with AIMs propaganda & lies from AIMs myth makers & academia, which has permeaded our real Tetuwan spirituality, history & culture for almost 40 years, without a shred of honor of adhereing to, or respect of… Tetuwan Lakota protocols of our Tetuwan Elders, to support any of AIMs embellishments of power within our Nations, or of AIMs propaganda & lies….  Now, today…. look where AIM & Arvol Looking Horse are – inviting the US Government to regulate our Tetuwan Lakota ceremonies… again, because AIM is in collusion with, & are a part of the very US Government AIM states at every chance AIM gets…is suppose to be AGAINST!!!!  Does this appear to be very disturbing to you? I know it makes my skin crawl that these men think they can tell a woman & the peoples of the world how to be spiritually. This insults the very origin of our Tetuwan Nations & of all Nations of the entire World - WOMEN are the source of life. It reminds me of the stories from our Tetuwan people being told to not speak our language or they would have their tongue cut. If you want to see my point – see how it feels in your heart if you even try to insult your own mother! Can you feel that?  Well, imagine if you were that Mother, or any woman. The Creator’s endless dance of creation & destruction are paired like two spirals of energies flowing in opposite directions. The weave they make through the fabric of our reality, reveals hidden & deep understandings of our Universe in the unity of opposites. When this unity fails as in the imbalance of men and women in this world – destruction can dominate until all is in ruins - & the cycle of Creation begins again. We have done this before - & now is the time to restore Balance. I truly appreciate your efforts, John Lekay…. to open these issues honestly & respectfully to the world. If it was easy to walk the Good Red Road – it would be paved by now or called – the yellow brick road. Well, this is not the land of OZ, & I am not the “wicked witch of the West.” I am one woman saying she has had enough of this AIM violence & I am making this “call” to restore balance to our Tetuwan Nations, as the process of cleansing begins. I am one Woman walking with these Sacred Bundles & the “Holy Smoke ” they release in prayer carries my words on my breath & from my heart. Please remember the joyful sounds of our children’s future begins in the drum beat of our Mothers’ hearts. For more visit www.lookingbackwoman.ca lookingbackwoman@hotmail.com
