Helping the Sioux regain control of what is theirs.

The only remaining sacred land that the tribe has lost control of is Pe’ Sla, also called Wowakcawala Okislata, which means the purity of peace and harmony. This is now on the auction block to the highest bidder. The current owner has kept it pristine and un-"developed" There is very little chance that a commercial purchaser would show the same restraint.

Here is a link to donate to the cause:

I would buy the land for them. I have always been outraged at the treatment of Native Americans by the white man. And I stress "man" because white women had little to do with what was done to them.
