Magnificent! What the Native Americans have endured is shameful to me; given blankets infected with smallpox? having their food source slaughtered to starve them out? Their lands confiscated? Forced onto reservations? It's shameful and disgusting. Thank you for such a wonderful draw.

This is a very noble draw of the Sioux spirit leader, i have just spent the last 2 weeks reading all about the American Indians and there culture and have really enjoyed learning about how they once were and of course how they suffered in the end days of there great lifestyles ;K

The True Peace

The first peace, which is the most important,

is that which comes within the souls of people

when they realize their relationship,

their oneness, with the universe and all its powers,

and when they realize that at the center

of the universe dwells Wakan-Taka (the Great Spirit),

and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.

This is the real peace, and the others are but reflections of this.

The second peace is that which is made between two individuals,

and the third is that which is made between two nations.

But above all you should understand that there can never

be peace between nations until there is known that true peace,

which, as I have often said, is within the souls of men.

Black Elk, Oglala Sioux & Spiritual Leader (1863 - 1950)
