Honoring Ceremony by Chief Rueben George and Chief Darrell Bob
Gathering to Protect the Sacred from Tar Sands Projects, January 23 - 25, 2013
Ihanktonwan Territory, South Dakota

A CALL FOR UNPRECEDENTED UNIFED ACTION TO PROTECT MOTHER EARTH

At the Gathering to Protect the Sacred from Tar Sands Projects, we joined in solidarity and unprecedented unity and:

• Honored all Indigenous First Nations, Tribes, Allies, and the Enduring Unity of the Oceti Sakowin, the Great Sioux Nation, and commemorated and honored the 150th Anniversary and reaffirmed the January 23, 1863 Peace Treaty between the Ihanktonwan and Pawnee Nations that was witnessed by the Ponca Nation and the United States Government. This Treaty has never been broken for more than 150 years.

• Notified President Obama and the U.S. Government that the approval of the Keystone XL pipeline would be a further grave abrogation of the January 23, 1863 Treaty and possibly other related treaties and would have very regrettable consequences. For instance, on December 21st 2012 by Resolution, the Black Hills Sioux Nation Treaty Council also stated they were "vehemently opposed to the construction of the TransCanada/Keystone XL Pipeline Project on any Aboriginal or Treaty lands."

• Held a Ceremonial Grand Council to Affirm a Unifying International Treaty between Indigenous Peoples and All Our Allies Who Seek to Protect the Sacred from the Tar Sands and the Keystone XL Pipeline. This International Treaty builds upon the Save the Fraser River Declaration, Rights of Mother Earth Accord, Indigenous Leaders Spiritual Declaration, the Sixteen Guiding Principles for Building a Harmonious World, the Coastal First Nations Declaration, and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

• Built the Foundation for a Spiritually-Grounded, Principle-Centered Interdependent Campaign for Unprecedented Unified Action to Protect Our Sacred Mother Earth.

" The Soul's Journey to The Other Side Camp " Honouring Mato Gi ( Brown Bear ) Phil Lane Sr.

2011-09-06T16:44:24.135Z

Filmed at the Summit of Harney Peak, in South Dakota, where Black Elk received his Great Vision, this heart- moving video magnificently reflects the Eternal Journey of The Soul.

Made by Jordan Big Horn, in honour of the passing of his Beloved Grandfather, Mato Gi, Brown Bear, (Phil Lane Sr.) to the Spiritual Worlds Beyond and the Message, Mato Gi, left for his all his beloved ones just, before he rode on to the "Other Side Camp" As Mato Gi always said," "We are all one Human Family"

It was Phi Sr's namesake before him, Mato Gi, who rode the Bay Horse and slew the White Buffalo, as prophesied.
Mato Gi would always encourage the younger generations to remember always to serve the People.

It was at the Summit of Harney Peak that Black Elk recounted from His Great Vision, "I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world...And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being."

THE SACRED PIPE- A MODEL OF THE UNITY OF SCIENCE by Mato Gi, Brown Bear, Age 10

THE SACRED PIPE- A MODEL OF THE UNITY OF SCIENCE

The Sacred Pipe has many meanings. Some of the meanings are about the physical world, the world we can see and some are about the Spiritual World, the world we can't see. One of the important meanings of the Sacred Pipe is how everything is related to everything else, including all the branches of science.

The Stone Bowl represents the Mineral Kingdom.

The Wooden Stem represents the Plant Kingdom

The Eagle Feather or designs on the Sacred Pipe represent the Animal Kingdom

When you put the Sacred Pipe together and stand the Sacred Pipe, upright, with the bowl upward, it represents the Human Kingdom. We contain all Life.

This can be understood as an Aboriginal Model of the Unity of Science.
