Beloved Relatives, Saving the Dakota, Lakota and Nakota language base helps save the star language (ancient blessings) from heaven. These are the ordained people on the western shore, which means they are the children of the flesh our rainbow colors (four directions, even you too), but soul ELDEST from the heavens. You know, when your child tells you they see spirits and you wonder if it's all true, since you don't see a thing. Well this kind of vision comes from the perspective of a child when trusting the heart, which lives in the Spirit of the Lake People (Sioux). Returning to our souls around the world is an awakening vision and dreams for all of us. Saving the Dakota languages will help bring about evolutionary treasures (wopida or the gift) . If we rescue the languages it's just one step in rescuing other important treasures of the Great Sioux Nations. Today this language is the fastest growing indigenous language in the world, because inside our hearts we know something is real and important, to where treasures are buried. Let us uncover together to explore the vast richness of the Dakota, Lakota and Nakota heavenly knowledge today! your devoted servant, White Buffalo Calf Woman your Twin Deer Mother Prays for your return!
