and so do not forget.
Every dawn as it comes is a holy event,
and every day is holy,
for the light comes from your Father Wankan-Tanka,
and also you must always remember
that the two leggeds and all the other peoples
who stand upon the earth are sacred
and should be treated as such.
quoted by Black Elk (Oglada Sioux), 1947
who are finding once again
their deep connection with the earth,
and with all of life.

Grandmother tells me that the Earth has a heartbeat,
she is still alive and our drums pound to
the rhythm of her pulse.
My Grandmother leads me in prayer on the breezy
shores of a lake, drops prayer tobacco in its pungent
frothy waves, and beneath her murmered blessings I hear
a flute, its whistling notes are carried by a
tender wind. The music sustains us, lifts us into
the past and propels us into the future. The
sacred songs of worship continue to heal"
