Very good answers, thereby ensuring that further oil is not poured upon and fuels the current flames of discontent and hatred, whilst being diplomatic and firm in what type of response will be made in the eventuality of the use of nuclear weapons by Russia. Thus he stated that clear parameters and boundaries have been drawn then, so that the Russians know clearly where they stand in relation to any responses by NATO to a nuclear strike in Ukraine, or anywhere else. Eventually, it will come, although I still sense that N Korea will be the ones to use them upon the US in 2028, probably from subs, then Russia 5 years later will attack the US, and Europe too. It was bound to come, for in the world of thought forms mankind are constantly in a state of competition, and these congregate via the law that likes attract likes. These form clouds of thought-forms that one day condense, and pour out over humanity, if they can be called that, for although there are good people, very few are perfect! And all that has been sown, must be reaped, and shall be, soon!

Grief can stay in a community for a long time, if it is not healed! I have seen it in the coal mining towns and villages in the UK, for hundreds died in those jobs, and many people lost relatives, and their health, even myself! Thus, these places, like the reservations, should be targeted with lots of funds and therapies, to help the people help themselves! Integrated healthcare could be great, just train up as many of the people there as is possible, and let them go home to heal their relatives. Then add some specialist services and education around alcohol, drugs, and suicide prevention. Out of sight, out of mind though is usual way whereby mainstream society neatly forgets these peoples and places, whilst they continue to take as much as possible, excelling in greed and selfishness. Only the Great Spirit can stop this, and He will...SOON!!!.

In that kind of system, where everything is scarce, including love, some become stronger, others wilt and crumple. These were a great warrior race, as they had lived in nature, and so became strong, until the white man came with his greed, lies, and fire water. Their despair from the 1800's has led to a magnetic attraction and tie to many spirits in the beyond, who contemplate suicide, and, or, drink excessively too. The white man has much to account for, and it will be his turn soon, from 2028, as karmic storms return to him, for what a man, or nation sows, so must it reap. This land is, and never was theirs, for the Great Spirit ordained the red man to be the caretaker of it, which he did very well, before the whites came. To survive there now, you have to a true warrior, all the more so to flourish, for as the teacher stated, these children need to be nurtured and watered akin to flowers and plants, otherwise they wither away, and die! Aho!

There are clearly a number of issues and narratives that relate to your tribe's plight. I found a university course that's coming to Pine Ridge for a few weeks, or months, in May/June time, this year, as part of some kind of community assessment and development. It looks as though there have been a number of good initiatives begun that are offering some helps and services to the people there. The bison meat processing company, food parcels, Waldorf school, environment school, new housing, sponsors for food and clothes, new organic gardens, etc. The issue is you're starting from scratch, and do not have a level of basic sustenance in place, due to the meagre amounts of money that come onto the rez. My view is that capitalism doesn't work, and neither does living outside spiritual principles, for those are the only way to be truly sustainable, as we receive both spiritual power and strength, as well as help from the spiritual guides for our material existence, although this doesn't mean we will be rolling in it, but our needs will be met, if we trust !!!. And your culture was so rich in this regard, so, so rich...and wise !!! And you still have elders there who have wisdom. Do people not listen to them any more??? Not to understand the laws of the Great Spirit is to be ignorant, and therefore unaware of the causes of one's pain, this is why pain comes, so we can recognise these ways and find the way back to the path of the spirit. This takes effort though, and alertness and discipline, and this is why the elders with their wisdom I would have thought could help, but then I don't know the circumstances in your home, but it doesn't sound easy at all. Wish you well on your return there, and may I both thank and congratulate you on doing so, for it proves to me you are a loyal, selfless person, and know that good works are always rewarded in full, for eventually we do reap what we sow, many times over !!! All the very, very best with everything !!!

When one considers the life and beauty of the great Lakota nation, and the wisdom of its people, it is saddening to see them now living in such impoverished conditions. These are the fruits of the 'ways of the white man', who saw this land, and decided to take and plunder it, regardless of the consequences for the land, or for the people anointed as the spiritual caretakers of it, a sacred task given by the Great Spirit, as part of the upbuilding of a Paradise-like environment upon the earth. Now look at it...a sty, where there should stand a Holy Temple, through its natural, exquisite beauty, that would exude the grace and glory of the Almighty. Now the white men's ways spread like a plague of locusts across all lands, and amongst all nations, as the fear of scarcity strikes their hearts, and ironically pushes them further into the abyss, for ignoring the ways of the spirit. Man can only be saved by the intervention of tragic karmic events, that terrify him and shake him up, to awaken him from his deep, spiritual slumber, so he can once more recognise the way of the spirit, and the blessings and abundance of the Great Spirit. Wishing the Spirit of the Lakota all the very, very best. Soon your time will come, so fear not the muddy path!!!

In relation to the alcoholism and suicides, the spirits in the beyond play a role in this, through the laws of likes attract likes, in regard to addictions anyway. So whenever the tribes became destitute and full of grief, when they lost their loved ones, their homelands, their culture, their language, their children, and their spiritual guidance, they would become prey to those in the beyond, and so if many began to drink to forget their emotions, then this sets up a cycle that perpetuates, until the bridge is broken. It can only be broken by assisting those with these issues in a holistic manner, so helping in all aspects of life, and finding spiritual programmes that strengthens them on the inside, for people drink due to what's missing on the inside, not what they lack on the outside, not normally anyway. The other point I would make in this is that the woman is always the bridge for the souls in the beyond, so if certain people surround her when she procreates and carries a child, this sets up the bridge for the beyond. Indeed, it sounds so prolific on your reservation, there must be a powerful connection to the beyond. This needs to be healed and broken, as these souls in the beyond are feeding upon your people's despair, and drinking, so again I ask, surely your elders know this, and are able to offer help? Are is it just that some of the people couldn't care a less, which is usually the case, and very difficult to change, as they need to want to change. In that case, all a person can do is 2 things, support them where it seems reasonable to do so, and be an example of change yourself, so they may just yet decide they want some of what you have. It's called leading by example, so no need to evangelise, which is what many do to alcoholics, and they naturally don't like that. Hope it's going well for you, and I know from my own earlier part of my life, these circumstances are never easy to deal with, nor even talk about sometimes. Personally, I find praying to the Great Spirit helps solve all my problems, although he doesn't always make it easy, just easier !!!

@twizdestroyer1772 When has any government been true to its people, it's really rare, anywhere. And some people have suffered more than others under their govts. I came from a coal mining town, most honest, hard workers in UK. Yet picked on by govt, all jobs gone, called the enemy within because they were like Lakota, prepared to stand up for what they knew was right, their jobs and for their communities. Govts are ruthless, so they sent the met police, like 7th cavalry in US, ruthless, but they receive a bloody nose. Now, poorest people in UK, forgotten and resented by govt. We need a new type of governance all o'er the world. The Great Spirit awaits his children to return home!

Amit Kumar Yes, the religion of the white man, a race who was mostly chosen to lead all mankind into new epoch. They failed miserably! Even nature rebelled against them in the US, see the New Madrid earthquake, and life of Tecumseh. Very, very soon, great upheavals, old ways return, and ways of white man are destroyed! The Great Spirit beckons us all, let us give hear, and allow Him to lead us on high. Aho!
