Take this Fulbright & Alton Carroll…and, read it. Paul Horne & Arvol Looking Horse denouced by the Cheyenne River Lakota Tetuwan Tribe!

This Press Release came about after HakiktaWin-Looking Back Woman-Suzanne Dupree provided her linage, photos, & documentation, & requested the Cheyenne River Tribe to review Quest for the Pipe of the Sioux, As Viewed From Wounded Knee in 2005.

One must ask why as late as only a few months ago Arvol Looking Horse & phil Lane Jr were still marketing themselves against the wishes of Arvols own Lakota Cheyenne River Tribal Elders….

This infomation should also be reviewed along with Marie Elk Head Fiddlers UTube video, unfortunately…the only thing that has been proven here is, the Pte Hincala Cannunpa Kin has not been at Green Grass, South Dakota for a very long time, and all efforts to make the public believe that the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe is still in the possession of the Elk Head-Fiddlers has been shown beyond any doubt… on the Elk Head page on www.lookingbackwoman.ca to be untrue.

So, the truth has prevailed…Dr Alton Carroll, NAFPS.org site, and Fulbright University….

PRESS RELEASE

A meeting was convened by the Sicangu Lakota Grass Roots Oyate on October 21st, 2006, at the Rosebud Casino Conference Room located on the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Reservation in South Central South Dakota. 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.

The highlight of discussion included: Exploitation of Sacred Ceremonies with Wolakota Foundations’ overall coordinator and promoter, Paula Horn-Mullen and her questionable activities. Speakers on this issue were:

Vivian High Elk; lineal descendant of the pipe keepers, an enrolled member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.

Stacey Low Dog, former volunteer for Wolakota Foundations’ World Peace and Prayer Day activities, and an enrolled member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.

Martina Looking Horse, eldest female sibling to the Keeper of the pipe, and an enrolled member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe.

Francis Zephier; a concerned member of exploitation issues and an enrolled member of the Yankton Sioux Tribe.

Vivian stated the issue being presented is an internal issue for our people and needs to be addressed by our concerned Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Nation. She expressed concern that the Protection of Sacred Ceremonies Proclamation wasn’t being adhered to by Wolakota Foundations’ overall coordinator Paula Horn as the Sacred Pipe is the center of their fund raising activities, and that Wolakota Foundation is a non-profit, 501©(3) and is a United States sanctioned corporation, which is a blatant violation of our Traditional Law, which many of our ancestors fought and died for. It is the most Precious and Sacred of all things that is for our Nation and our Way of Life. It has been observed that the administration of this has been for the benefit of a few individuals that surround Paula Horn. Exploitation of the Canunnpa has been going on for years and must be stopped.

Stacey Low Dog offered documents as evidence of the amount of monies Paula solicited in the name of Arvol and our Sacred Bundle. She raised the question: is the Keeper a Spiritual Leader or a Corporate Leader? As he’s being manipulated to allow this activity of exploiting the Bundle and himself by his partner and the monies that only benefit Paula and her family. That if anyone questions her activities she labels them trouble makers and enemies of Arvols’ and uses character assassinations to deter them. Wolakota Foundation, under the guidance of Paula Horn has used the Cannunpa as a marketing tool, and money making scheme that benefits none of our people, or the youth she proposes to work with, and it is only benefiting her and her family, as she is operating this foundation as it is a personal bank account to do as she sees fits. She writes fraudulent proposals and acts like a telemarketer as she is on the phone 24/7 soliciting donations for Arvol and the foundation, and shields all the calls coming in. The financial records show Paula as the main beneficiary of these activities.

Martina Looking Horse presented the dissension Paula has created among her family and the accusations she has made against Martina. She has been aware of Paula’s’ activities for a long time. Support was offered against the exploitation against the bundle.

Francis Zephier stated the exploitation is not isolated to only Wolakota Foundation and talked of ceremonies including white people. She has been waiting for exploiting of our ceremonies to be stopped for years and that the Cannunpa belongs to all of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Nation. She stated that people with money should not be the only ones allowed to have access to the ways of our Cannunpa. She read a written Petition being offered to the people in attendance which was read and accepted to be put into action immediately. She offered support against exploitation.

The Petition will be shared with the Ikce Wicasa/Win for signatures to be collected. Further discussion will take place in another scheduled meeting to be held November 18th, 2006 on the Rosebud Sioux Tribe Reservation in St. Francis, South Dakota where it was decided upon that Arvol and his partner will be invited to attend to answer the allegations in question.

Alfred Bone Shirt who moderated the meeting states, “She manipulated the Keeper to engulf the Cannunpa in the laws of the United States government as it is the basis of their 501©(3) corporation which is signed by the Keeper and promoted by Paula Horne in a despicable, money making, marketing scheme to raise money that only benefits her and her family, and to further her own personal agenda. The Cannunpa is subject to the U.S. government laws as their corporation is based on it, as well as Arvol being subjected to these laws as well.”

Even though he is a recipient of a United Nations Peace award the people presenting the award did hot do any investigations or talk to our people to see if he is living his work among his people. The people have been living a life of duress and poverty and there has been no easement of it through his organization. By Paula remaining in that Sacred Area, she continues to bring Wa’asbya to our Bundle with all of her negative attitudes and energies’ she displays. The Cannunpa is a spirit and you can’t have negative thoughts, feelings and energies’ around it. The emails she puts out is record of these energies as she’s less than a 100 feet away from the pipe house.
