Walking Together : Past, Present, and Future (Part 2)

  • Summary

  • Earlier in the project, we heard that the tree was the first and most important symbol ever to be taught when we were young. In learning about it, we would find guidance on how to live a good life and where we should look to remain firmly grounded. Episode 7 Part 2 starts with a new and strikingly different perspective on our relative the tree by recent Little Wound graduate Pte San Win Little Whiteman.

    The next section turns to a discussion of the contemporary challenges facing our Lakota Oyate. This includes the issues of language revitalization, racism, mining, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women(MMIW), education, the influence of Western culture, and the neglect of Unci Maka.

    The third segment is devoted to woksape, or words of wisdom, for all Lakota youth. Here, through the voices of twenty of our project participants, we take in diverse views that tie together the past and present while offering valued guidance for facing the future in the best way possible.

    In the fourth and final section - in what can be seen as the project’s epilogue - we hear a passionate appeal from recent Little Wound graduate Zoey White.
