Front line appeasements

Here are the stories  to appease the opposing. When in any direction given for you to travel and seek solitude, to look for and protect the sacred and the holy, there you meet confrontation which can be, and will be, the tricksters at play. 
Then and there in those moments of effortless flaws, you then retreat and play the sacred games, the shiny game, hiding the ball game or the stick games, to be given acceptance and that no harm will come to you or others -- each and every sacred ground you bless and pray for. Don't pick up anything from the earth that was there before you got there, and at any victory you then let an arrow fly to the east, to the south, west and north -- which will open the skies for the fire prayers to ascend. 
Hail to the water nation, hail to the soil nation, hail to the spirit air nation and hail to all plains nations. Hoka.

Lakotas throw out TransCanada reps selling tarsands snake oil



Lakota Winyan on Cheyenne River Territory 
Throw Out the Transcanadians Selling TarSands Snake Oil

On November 13, 2013, tribal members of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, acting as agents for Transcanada in order to sell-out the homeland to the Keystone XL Pipeline, brought Keystone representatives to the reservation.  Here’s what happened:

“You’re already compromised, we know your names, we’ve seen you, what you did here tonight, selling us out for money, that’s shameful…  Corporations work this way to divide communities, to divide neighborhoods… The rest of us are going to be strong together for Unci Maka” 
Debra White Plume to the sellouts and the representatives of the deadly Keystone XL Pipeline.

“If you are going to be amongst us and be one of us don’t ever, ever bring these guys amongst us!” 
Tatanka Agli Win to the sellouts who brought Keystone reps to Cheyenne River.

As seen in this video clip from the Lakota Media Project, the powerful Lakota Winyan ensured that the Transcanadians quickly left Lakota Territory by literally escorting them out the door and into their cars.  The end of the clip shows the clearly shaken wasichu heading quickly for the door and it’s a pleasure to watch.


“Run home and tell your corporate headquarters in Canada that the Lakota are going to make a stand.  Tell them, you’re going to have to run over them or throw them in jail.  That’s the message you have to take home… So I think you need to leave our land!  We’re ready to go to jail to get you out of here NOW, so you can leave on your own or be escorted out now…”  Debra White Plume, Owe Aku.
