I Now Bring this Knowing to You. It Begins in the East. The Youth. I Charge the Youth of the Republic to Bundle Us a Starmap. This is Your Duty. This is Our SOVEREIGNTY. Simple. Elegant. WoopeWan. Lakol WiconhanWan. Hecetu. Be Aware of Yellow, and 3. 5 and 12. Incorporate. Amalgamate. Make Live.
Women, The South. White. Know Diametric Oppositions. Know the Butterfly Designs of Parfleche. Make Your Men’s Wardrobe. Know These Things. This Is Your Charge. Prepare knives, Awls, Sinew. Prepare Containers. Prepare the Storage of Dried Foods Which Please The Spirits And Are Medicine To The Republic. Hecetu.
Men, We Must Rebuild Our Nation. By Renewing our Winter Counts, Our Drums, Our Flutes, Our Rattles, Our Stone Headed Clubs, Our Bows, Our Arrows, Our CanunpaWan…We must Do These Things as well as Make Meat. We must also be the Ones to Provide Shelter that our Women will then Take Care Of. We are The West, The Thunder And Lightning.
Elders, Red, North, We Look To You To Share The Stories Now, This Winter, To Bring The Bundle Of Wisdom And Patience… That The People May Live.
I Together, At The Greasy Grass River, We Shall Renew The Fire. We Shall Renew One Council Fire, An Amalgamation, An Alliance, A Confederacy. A Truth. When We Can Present Our Self Publicly, Showing Our Powers Publicly, We Live The Dream Of Sovereignty. We Can Then Face Anything. We Need Not Fight. We Need Not Argue. We Shall Show And Present Our Woope. This Is Truth. Hecetuwelo.
Four 4 Days Prior, We Shall Assemble. We Shall Meet and Present Our Self. The Location Is To Be Determined.
We Extend This Hand To All LakotahWan. Come, Let Us Begin The Continuum.
Hecetuwelo. Let Those With Ears Hear.
