Leonard Crow Dog's 1971 Sun Dance was one of the first held since 1890. For many it was the first time they could pray their own Nation's prayers. As a result he spent 27 months in solitary confinement. His father had protected him from American School's linguistic and religious genocide, and taught him the First Nation's Faith. First Nation religion only became legal in the United States in 1978.

Lastrealindians - Please Share! By signing the petition: lakotalaw.org/action or becoming a member: lakotalaw.org/donate-new we can all help to secure freedom and sovereignty for the Lakota people! "So I'd much rather get across the concept of freedom. It's what's important to Indian children. the only way you can be free is to know that you are worthwhile as a distinct human being. Otherwise you become what the colonizers have designed, and that is a lemming. Get in line, punch all the right keys, and die." --Russell Means Over 740 Lakota children are taken away from their families and communities every year. The illegal removal of Lakota children by the state of South Dakota willfully and blatantly disregards the Indian Child Welfare Act and amounts to cultural genocide, according to the Geneva Convention, for the Lakota people. If Lakota tribes retain total control over their children, they will have a voice for future generations and their culture will not be lost and abandoned. Please support the sovereignty of the Lakota people by supporting the creation of foster care for Lakota, by Lakota! | Facebook
