Land of bear and land of eagle. Land that gave us birth and blessing. Land that called us ever homewards. We will go home across the mountains. We will go home. We will go home. We will go home across the mountains.

I am not religious but I do believe in Nature and the Earth being Mother to all. There is a spirituality, which can be different from being religious, and in Nature that goes far beyond the things that organised religions know. I revere Nature and the power within. I respect peoples choices of their own religious views, and everybody is welcome here if they respect my choices also and have respect for Nature. I am against animal cruelty. I do not like hunting by gun freaks with a big ego problem, because hunting is not necessary unless you need the meat for survival only. Racists, trouble makers and people who show no respect will be blocked. So keep it clean please. This channel is for educational purposes and enjoyment.
Love for and Kinship with Nature. Reverence for the life force and its ever-renewing cycles of life and death.
A Positive Morality in which the individual is responsible for the discovery and development of their true nature in harmony with the outer world and community. This is often expressed as "Do what you will, as long as it harms none".

For the past 25 years, as some of you already know, I've worked very hard as an activist and fund raiser for various projects on the Pine Ridge Reservation of South Dakota, and I have built up a good reputation with several highly respected elders. I teach about reservation life and the problems that exsist within Lakota Nation to schools, colleges and community groups, as asked to do by Oglala spokesmen, Cetan Wakinyan and Eli Tail Senior. I do this to promote awareness and bring in support for Lakota Nation. I'm family of Tate/Nakiwizipi Ti Ospaye and proud of that. Survival expert and friend, Ray Mears, who taught me alot about bush craft, gave me one of his own high quality bush knifes as a gift for my work for Lakota youth a few years ago. I am a trained counsellor for the terminally ill at a local hospital, and have also worked as a Child Care Officer for abused children, and Community Support Worker for people with learning disabilities. I also raise funds for the leper community of Mutemwa under the John Bradburn Society in Africa. I have done much voluntary community work for the elderly and have a letter of recommendation for this work. I am a member of Amnesty International, and of the Defenders of Wildlife whose web is shown on the link below, and of The Pagan Federation. I wish you all a nice day and please enjoy the contents of this channel. The following are organisations that I belong to or support.
