I am accountable to restore the strength of my family. To do this, I will nurture our family's spiritual, cultural, and social health. I will demonstrate trust,... respect, honor and discipline; but mostly I will be consistent in whatever I do with them. Photo- Chief Mahpiya Luta- Red Cloud. Oglala Lakota.

This is a true sign of a great leader.

When the great Sioux war came we had lots of battles with the soldiers. We were fighting all the time with Miles and Crook and white soldiers every place we wen...t. "Some of the Indian agents were honest,sometimes. Jim McLaughlin's wife was a cousin of my wife. I was not in the fight at Wounded Knee, but was there right after the soldiers shot into our women and children with machine guns and killed so many. The soldiers were wrong. They treated us bad. The army of the white people were afraid of us. They did not like Red Cloud because he talked and told the truth about dishonest agents. They put him in the guard- house at Fort Robinson and put a stick in his mouth (indicated three inches) and tied his hands so he could not talk when the army officers came to inspect. Sitting Bull was all right but they got afraid of him and killed him. They were afraid of my cousin, Crazy Horse, so they killed him. These were the acts of cowards. It was murder. We were starving. We only wanted food. "Crazy Horse was my cousin and best friend. A soldier ran a bayonet through his back. He was unarmed, and two other men held him by the arms when the white soldier came behind and put his bayonet through his kidney. I got there a few minutes after he was stabbed. When he was dead his father and brothers took him away and buried him. They never told where he is buried and now we do not know. "Crazy Horse was never with other Indians unless it was in a fight. He was always the first in a fight, and the soldiers could not beat him in a fight. He won every fight with the whites. "The young brother of Crazy Horse was on a trip where now is Utah, and there he was killed by some white settlers. They were having some trouble with the Indians there. When Crazy Horse learned that his brother was killed he took his wife with him and went away but told no one where he was going. He was gone for a long time. He went to the place where his brother was killed and camped in the woods where he could see the settlement. He stayed there nine days. Every day he would look around and when he saw some one he would shoot him. He killed enough to satisfy and then he came home. Crazy Horse was married but had no children. He was much alone. He never told stories and never took a scalp from his enemies when he killed them. He was the bravest chief we ever had. He was the leader and the first at the front in the Custer fight. He never talked but always acted first. He was my friend and we went in the Custer fight together. Flying Hawk.

4 B'ATZ' B'atz' es la fuerza que nos impulsa a alcanzar nuestro destino, a dar forma a nuestra vida por medio de cada momento y cada experiencia que vivimos. Es... el hilo que teje nuestra existencia, ese hilo que nos enlaza a los demás y al todo. Este Ch'umil trae la esencia del amor, de la unidad. Su convergencia con el número 4 nos conecta a nuestro balance interior, al equilibrio y sanación en cada plano; y en este día en el que se fusiona también con la fuerza creadora de la semilla, que rige sobre la trecena, se manifiesta una energía de crecimiento y evolución. Nuestro paso por esta existencia nos conecta a cada una de las energías que dan forma a esta realidad, esas energías que a través de su poder y características impulsan nuestra evolución y nos otorgan las herramientas y sabiduría que necesitamos para para cumplir nuestro propósito de ser. Hoy estamos especialmente conectados a una fusión energética que trae sanación, balance, amor, crecimiento y unidad, que impulsa nuestro desarrollo integral y que nos enseña que somos un hilo dentro del tejido de la existencia, que estamos conectados al todo y que es a través de esta conexión que se fortalece el desarrollo de nuestro ser, nuestra evolución y la evolución que compartimos con los demás seres y con la Madre Tierra. Conectémonos al poder del día para avanzar en nuestro crecimiento personal y compartido. Solveig y Denise Arte por Juan León Cortez ---- B'atz 'is a force that drives us to reach our destiny, to give shape to our life through each moment and each experience we live. It is the thread that weaves our existence, the thread that connects us to others and to everything. This Ch'umil brings the essence of love, of unity. Its convergence with number 4 leads us to our inner balance, to find stability and healing in each plane; and on this day in which it also merges with the creative force of the seed, which rules over this trecena (thirteen day cycle), an energy of growth and evolution is manifested. Our passage through this existence connects us to each of the energies that shape this reality, those energies that through their power and characteristics impel our evolution and give us the tools and wisdom we need to fulfill our purpose of being. Today we are especially connected to an energetic fusion that brings healing, balance, love, growth, and unity, that drives us towards our integral development and teaches us that we are a thread within the fabric of existence, that we are connected to everything and through this connection the development of our being, our evolution, and the evolution that we share with other beings and with Mother Earth is strengthened. Let's connect to the power of the day to advance in our personal and shared growth.
