"Upon suffering beyond suffering; the Red Nation shall rise again and
it shall be a blessing for a sick world. A world
filled with broken
promises, selfishness and separations. A world
longing for light
again. I see a time of seven generations when all
the colors of
mankind will gather under the sacred Tree of Life
and the whole Earth
will become one circle again. In that day there
will be those among
the Lakota who will carry knowledge and
understanding of unity among
all living things, and the young white ones will
come to those of my
people and ask for this wisdom. I salute the light
within your eyes
where the whole universe dwells. For when you are
at that center
within you and I am that place within me, we shall
be as one."
