Crazy Horse had a final vision.
He saw his people being pushed into deep hardship, losing their way and their spirit, while the white settlers around them grew rich in material things. Yet even in this darkness, a few Lakota people still carried a small light inside them—the light of the earth, the ancestors, and the old wisdom. They protected this light and passed it quietly to their grandchildren.
In his vision, Crazy Horse saw the future: cars, airplanes, and two terrible times when the whole world shook with war, fire, and death.
But then… he saw something new.
After the second great war, his people slowly began to wake up—not all at once, but one by one, and then more and more. He saw them dancing in a beautiful spiritual light, beneath the Sacred Tree, while still alive on Earth. And as he watched, he realized something powerful:
Under that Sacred Tree, people of every race were dancing together—Lakota, white, Black, Asian, all nations—moving as one family, healed, awakened, and connected.
And in that moment, Crazy Horse understood:
The world would be made new again, in peace and harmony, not by one people alone, but by all peoples rising together, carrying wisdom, respect, and the light of the Spirit.
Kiteyihtakosiw ekwa kihcheyihtakwan — Honor and respect to Crazy Horse.
May we help bring that vision to life. 🐎💖🐎

Imagine walking out of the wilderness and realizing you are the last person alive from your entire community.
In 1911, near Oroville, California, a starving man appeared after living hidden for years. He was the last known Yahi— a small band of the Yana people whose lives had been shattered by settlers, disease, and violence during the Gold Rush. Because his tribe had been wiped out, he could no longer survive alone.
Anthropologists at the University of California, Berkeley took him in. When they asked his name, he said he had none. In Yahi tradition, a person could only speak their name if someone else from their tribe introduced them— but there was no one left to do that. So the researchers called him “Ishi,” meaning “man” in his language.
Ishi lived the rest of his life in San Francisco, working at the university museum. He made tools, showed how his people hunted and built things, and shared pieces of their language and traditions. People saw him as both a rare window into a lost culture and a heartbreaking reminder of how Native communities had been destroyed.
Today, Ishi is remembered not as “the last wild Indian,” as newspapers once called him, but as a powerful symbol of resilience, dignity, and the painful legacy of colonization in America.

They were promised friendship, respect, and peace.
But promise after promise was broken.
Land that held their history, their spirits, and their children
was slowly taken away — not through fairness,
but through lies, pressure, and force.
They were told,
“This land will always be yours.”
Yet each year, the borders moved,
shrinking their world, their rights, and their voice.
This image is a reminder:
sometimes the greatest battles are not fought with weapons,
but with broken words.

Floyd Red Crow Westerman’s wisdom reminds us of something many Native nations always knew — women were the true leaders. They guided the people with care, balance, and deep respect. 🌿
Their voices shaped decisions, protected the community, and thought about the future — long before outside systems tried to silence these traditions.
His message still rings strong today: real strength often comes from those who nurture, protect, and speak with courage. ✨🪶

This past weekend Bear Creek was asked to do a flag song for the Toronto Argonauts football game. I didn’t realize we made it on tv, until after the game and people started messaging me. It was an awesome to open for the game, even in the rain…lol
