Description
“Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race. Even before there were large numbers of Negroes on our shore, the scar of racial hatred had already disfigured colonial society. From the sixteenth century forward, blood flowed in battles over racial supremacy. We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade. Indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or feel remorse for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folklore all exalt it. Our children are still taught to respect the violence which reduced a red-skinned people of an earlier culture into a few fragmented groups herded into impoverished reservations.”
~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Gorgeous, Roselynne. I found a book on making authentic tipis and created a 20 ft diam. one, borrowing an industrial sewing machine and going through a very meditative time during this precious experience. It was wondrous. My Lakota friends tell me that the tipi shape comes from the cotton tree leaf. And the cotton tree is the sacred tree used as the center of their Sundance. Thanks for sharing your image! LF+

Thank you I’ina:)) I too once set up a tipi in the Sierras in California. It was such a wonderful experience and I spent many meditative times inside with a fire. They are truely beautiful structures, and incredibly healing to spend time in.
