They say: When the people of the prairie lost their prairies, when the people of the buffalo lost
- their buffalo - and with them all of the battles - the prophesy of the Kiowa tribe seemed final: The sacred circle of the
- history of the Native Americans was interrupted. On the snow of Wounded Knee not only were hundreds of warriors
- killed - an entire world along with its culture, rituals, and faith were defeated. And yet, many years after that night,
- increasing interest and respect for the Native American civilization leads to the thought that the wound inflicted on the
- circle at that time is now slowly healing and that Native American spirituality, on the other hand never assuaged, is back
- on track.
Edward Goodbird, warrior of the Hidatsa tribe, writes: "Everything in the world is living, has its own
- spirit. The sky has a spirit, the clouds have a spirit, the sun and the moon have their own spirits. The same is true for
- animals, trees, grass, water, and stone. Everything. These spirits are our gods. If we pray to them or make offerings to
- them, they help us when we are in need." When the Algonquin turn to Manitou, the Sioux to Wakantanka, the Hidatsu
- to Gsupa, and the Iroquois to Orenda, they turn to the power of the marvelous and the exceptional present in man, in
- plants, in animals, or in the buzzing of insects in which the wise person recognizes the voices of the gods.
