Verifiable truth about my grandfather from a primary source: a priest who knew everyone because he spoke several dialects of our language & who was wounded at Wounded Knee.

This is in his journal.

". . . Spotted Elk, called "Big Foot" by the whites, led a large Minneconjous . . ." #nativeamerican

Interesting captures of wildlife. Photography is something I also like and especially of natural environments.

This map is for Descendants of Survivors of Wounded Knee. We are locating families and creating maps of things in the lives of our ancestors.

The pipe is now carried by Arvol Looking Horse.
We've been working on a map. Here is a story about Elk Head, from the early 1900's. I thought it was interesting. He had been the third generation to keep the pipe .

Have you ever heard the story of the White Buffalo Calf Woman and how the pipe came to be so important to Dakotahs? #nativeamerican

I have tried to check in each day but the past week was exceptionally busy as I prepared, with others, for a meeting yesterday of Wounded Knee descendants of Survivors. It was a good meeting that @museek.bsky.social and I both attended. We spoke about a proper memorial & what to do with artifacts.
