Mitakuye Oyasin Chief Arvol Looking Horse Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe in the 19th generation
Our ancestors have been trying to protect our Sacred Site from the continued violations called the SACRED BLACK HILLS in South Dakota, HEART OF EVERYTHING THAT IS. Our ancestors never seen this site from a Satellite view, but now that those pictures are available with modern technology, we see that it is in the shape of a heart and when fast forwarded it looks like a heart pumping.

Before our white brothers came to civilize us we had no jails. Therefore we had no criminals. You can't have criminals without a jail. We had no locks or keys, and so we had no thieves. If a an was so poor that he had no horse, tipi or blanket, someone gave him these things. We were to uncivilized to set much value on personal belongings. We wanted to have things only in order to give them away. We had no money, and therefore a man's worth couldn't be measured by it. We had no written law, no attorneys or politicians, therefore we couldn't cheat. We really were in a bad way before the white men came, and I don't know how we managed to get along without these basic things which - we are told - are absolutly necessary to make a civilized society.
