Pe’Sla: Protecting Sacred Sites as the Next Battle Ground

By:  Chase Iron Eyes

As the Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation), we have a tremendous responsibility to protect the Black Hills.  Other nations carry that moral responsibility as well- including the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Crow, Kiowa, and others that know the sacred nature of the Black Hills.  We need to come together: the Treaty Councils, Tribal Governments (IRA), Action Groups, Grassroots organizations, AIM Chapters, and any individual willing to help.  We will not wait for others to “take up the cause.”  Each one of us must be willing to set up camp at any sacred site set for destruction, share information via social media or around a campfire, seek legal recourse in any court of law, protest, “buy back” our sites as the Sicangu (Rosebud Nation) and Mdewakantonwan (Shakopee Dakota) are talking of doing, and do whatever it takes to defend our most vital sites.  The auction day (Aug.25,2012) fast approaches as does the future Pe’Sla construction (2014).  As long as we are living there will be a fight to protect all of our sites.  There is only one Mother Earth, Blihiciyapo.  READ MORE HERE:  http://www.lastrealindians.com/2012/08/01/pesla-protecting-sacred-sites-as-the-next-battle-ground/
