The US Supreme Court ruled in 1980 that the Black Hills were unconstitutionally taken and awarded the local tribes a settlement of $120.5 million, which, with interest, is now worth over $1.5 billion.
The Lakota Tribe continues to assert their right to the land and has not accepted the monetary award, stating that- 'The Black Hills Are Not For Sale'!

“Nothing in nature lives for itself.
Rivers don't drink their own water.
Trees don't eat their own fruit.
Sun doesn't give heat for itself.
Flowers don't spread fragrance for themselves.
Living for others is the rule of nature. And therein lies the secret of living.”

Are we upon the “Return of the White Buffalo Calf Woman Prophecy.”
A 2000 year Old Prophecy that the Lakota are Awaiting!
It is said: “that when mankind has been plagued by the disease of the material world, by war, by famine, by greed, that man’ will have an endless appetite of wanting more!
A White Buffalo Calf will be Born, this will be the beginning of a shift from the masculine energy back to the feminine energy, that this birth will signify the beginning of the Return of the White Buffalo Calf Woman — that upon her return she will begin to use the Wakinyans (Thunder Beings) to start purifying the world, She will start with rebalancing nature, after which the dominant feminine energy will start shifting from male energy to female, and we will start to see balance in the material world and then we will start to see the shift in the spiritual world! She will bring a harmony, a balance, and spirituality to all Nations of the World!”
Holy Calf!
When a white buffalo calf is born, it is a sign that their prayers are being heard and that the promises of the prophecy are being fulfilled. To American Indians, a White Buffalo Calf is the most sacred living thing on earth.
April 25th a White Buffalo was born

A Prayer for all the relatives we lost this winter season:
“Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.

They are all connected, and they all

Without one, our planet will parish, or it will revolve but this time
without mankind.

“Before our white brothers arrived to make us civilized men,we didn't have any kind of prison. Because of this, we had no delinquents. We had no locks nor keys and therefore among us there were no thieves.
When someone was so poor that he couldn't afford a horse, a tent or a blanket, he would, in that case, receive it all as a gift.
We were too uncivilized to give great importance to private property.
We didn't know any kind of money and consequently, the value of a human being was not determined by his wealth. We had no written laws laid down, no lawyers, no politicians, therefore we were not able to cheat and swindle one another.
We were really in bad shape before the white men arrived and I don't know how to explain how we were able to manage without these fundamental things that (so they tell us) are so necessary for a civilized society.”
