"Some root of the Sacred Tree still lives. Nourish it then, that it may leaf and bloom, and fill with singing birds. Hear me, not for myself, but for my people; I am old. Hear me that they may once more go back into the Sacred Hoop and find the Good Red Road, the Shielding Tree." Black Elk Oglala Sioux | ||||
