"Auctioning Pe'
Sla: An Urgent Crises"
Listen online tonightChase Iron Eyes, attorney, writer, and founding writer at LastRealIndians.com, speaks with on the auctioning of Pe' Sla and the critical urgency to raise enough money to buy back this sacred site.
Pe’ Sla, The Heart Of All That Is: Help Save the
Lakota Heart Land
Right now, The Great Sioux Nation is battling
against the clock to save Pe’ Sla, one of its most sacred religious sites.
Pe’ Sla, located in the center of the Black Hills of South Dakota, U.S.A,
is considered to be the heart of everything that is by the Lakota, Dakota and
Nakota people. Besides being part of their creation story, Pe’ Sla plays a
crucial role in the star knowledge of the Sioux. Ceremonies essential to their
culture and beliefs, that Tribal elders and spiritual leaders explain help keep
the Universe in harmony, must be conducted at Pe’ Sla.
Pe’ Sla is currently owned by the Reynolds
family. On August 25, 2012, approximately 1,942.66 acres, sold in 5
tracts of land, will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Once sold,
it is highly likely that Pe’ Sla will be opened up for development, with the
State of South Dakota building a road directly through it.
Although we believe our sacred places were taken
illegally by the United States government, Lastrealindians, Inc., is
collaborating with the Rosebud Sioux Tribe and the Great Sioux Nation (the
Oceti Sakowin) to centralize fundraising to save one of our most precious
sacred sites, Pe ‘Sla. In an unprecedented, collective effort, the united
Great Sioux Nation (the Oceti Sakowin), is attempting to buy as much of Pe’ Sla
as possible, to save it from destruction and ensure that future generations of
Lakota, Dakota, Nakota, and other Tribal Nations that consider the Black Hills
holy, will continue to have access to this vital sacred site to practice
their faith on its ceremonial grounds in its natural, pristine state.
