The word can be broken up into three parts: Ngangi means word or sound, Kuri means water, and kurr means deep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the name of my people means &#8216;the Deep Water Sounds&#8217; or &#8216;Sounds of the Deep&#8217;. Dadirri recognises the deep spring that is inside us. We call on it and it calls to us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the gift that Australia is thirsting for. When I experience dadirri, I am made whole again. I can sit on the riverbank or walk through the trees; even if someone close to me has passed away, I can find my peace in this silent awareness. There is no need of words. A big part of dadirri is listening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our Aboriginal way, we learnt to listen from our earliest days. We could not live good and useful lives unless we listened. This was the normal way for us to learn &#8211; not by asking questions. We learnt by watching and listening, waiting and then acting. Our people have passed on this way of listening for over 40,000 years\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no need to reflect too much and to do a lot of thinking. It is just being aware. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now I would like to talk about the other part of dadirri which is the quiet stillness and the waiting. Our Aboriginal culture has taught us to be still and to wait. We do not try to hurry things up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We let them follow their natural course &#8211; like the seasons. We watch the moon in each of its phases. We wait for the rain to fill our rivers and water the thirsty earth\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When twilight comes, we prepare for the night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At dawn we rise with the sun. We watch the bush foods and wait for them to ripen before we gather them. We wait for our young people as they grow, stage by stage, through their initiation ceremonies. When a relation dies, we wait a long time with the sorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We own our grief and allow it to heal slowly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We wait for the right time for our ceremonies and our meetings. The right people must be present. Everything must be done in the proper way. Careful preparations must be made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We don&#8217;t mind waiting, because we want things to be done with care. Sometimes many hours will be spent on painting the body before an important ceremony. We don&#8217;t like to hurry. There is nothing more important than what we are attending to. There is nothing more urgent that we must hurry away for.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a

In a sense America is dying, from within, because they forgot the instructions of how to live on earth. It&#8217;s the Hopi belief, it&#8217;s our belief, that if you are not spiritually connected to the earth, and understand the spiritual reality of how to live on earth, it&#8217;s likely that you will not make it. Everything is spiritual, everything has a spirit, everything was brought here by the creator, the one creator. Some people call him God, some people call him Buddha, some people call him Allah, some people call him other names. We call him Tunkaschila&#8230; Grandfather. We are here on earth only a few winters, then we go to the spirit world. The spirit world is more real than most of us believe. The spirit world is everything. Over 95% of our body is water. In order to stay healthy you&#8217;ve got to drink good water. &#8230; Water is sacred, air is sacred. Our DNA is made out of the same DNA as the tree, the tree breaths what we exhale, we need what the tree exhales. So we have a common destiny with the tree. We are all from the earth, and when earth, the water, the atmosphere is corrupted, then it will create its own reaction. The mother is reacting. In the Hopi prophecy they say the storms and floods will become greater. To me it&#8217;s not a negative thing to know that there will be great changes. It&#8217;s not negative, it&#8217;s evolution. When you look at it as evolution, it&#8217;s time, nothing stays the same. You should learn how to plant something. That is the first connection. You should treat all things as spirit, realize that we are one family. It&#8217;s never something like the end. Its like life, there is no end to life.\u201d-Floyd Red Crow Westerman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"372\" src=\"https:\/\/lifeonearthstar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/singers.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lifeonearthstar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/singers.jpg 512w, https:\/\/lifeonearthstar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/singers-300x218.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Few things that have brought tears to my eyes in this world. One is hearing our women sing around the drum at sundance. Their voice is powerful and humble at the same time. It takes the spirit from your body and hugs it with warmth, nurturing, and strength. No doubt their voice is guided by the spirits of unci past to bring courage to our people of today. I love all the women in my circle when they cry out to tunkasila that they are suffering it hurts down deep. Makes me cry. Makes me want to be strong and fight that which hurts my people. Songs are prayers! Songs are strength!

\u00b7 Lakota OyateChildren were called \u201cWakanisha\u201d which meant sacred and were the center of attention. To the Lakota Sioux, the word Wakanisha roughly translates as children, but has a far deeper meaning. Wakanisha are their sacred vessels of culture, spirituality and most importantly, love. These first inhabitants of America strived for harmony in all things, with the land of rolling plains they freely roamed, and within their tribes, families, and hearts. &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;~~~~~~~~~~~~~&gt;There was a time when the land was sacred, and the ancient ones were as one with it. A time when only the children of the Great Spirit were here to light their fires in these places with no boundaries\u2026In that time, when there were only simple ways, I saw with my heart the conflicts to come, and whether it was to be for good or bad, what was certain was that there would be change.\u2014 The Great Spirit ( Wakan Tanka)Lakota, Dakota, Nakota \u2013 The Great Sioux NationThe Sioux are a confederacy of several tribes that speak three different dialects, the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota. The Lakota, also called the Teton Sioux, are comprised of seven tribal bands and are the largest and most western of the three groups, occupying lands in both North and South Dakota. The Dakota, or Santee Sioux, live mostly in Minnesota and Nebraska, while the smallest of the three, the Nakota, primarily reside in South Dakota, North Dakota, and Montana.The name Sioux derives from the Chippeway word \u201cNadowessioux\u201d which means \u201cSnake\u201d or \u201cEnemy.\u201d Other definitions trace it too early Ottawa (Algonquian) singular \/na:towe:ssi\/ (plural \/na:towe:ssiwak\/) \u201cSioux,\u201d apparently from a verb meaning \u201cto speak a foreign language\u201d, however, the Sioux generally call themselves Lakota or Dakota, meaning \u201cfriends, allies, or to be friendly.\u201dThe Sioux are a proud people with a rich heritage. They were the masters of the North American plains and prairies, feared by other tribes from the great lakes to the Rockies.Migrating west from Minnesota, the Sioux became nomads of the plains, taking advantage of horses that were originally brought to the Americas by the Spanish in the 1500s. Following the buffalo, they lived in teepees to allow them quick mobility.Though the Sioux were known as great warriors, the family was considered the center of Sioux life. Children were called \u201cWakanisha\u201d which meant sacred and were the center of attention. While monogamy was most often practiced, Indian men were allowed to take on more than one wife. However, infidelity was punished by disfigurement.The roles of men and women were clearly defined with the men expected to provide for and defend the family. Hunting was taken very seriously and infraction of the hunting rules could lead to the destruction of a man\u2019s teepee or other property. Women were the matriarchs, ruling the family and domestic lives of the band.The Sioux were a deeply spiritual people, believing in one all-pervasive god, Wakan Tanka, or the Great Mystery. Religious visions were cultivated and the people communed with the spirit world through music and dance. The LakotaSometimes also spelled \u201cLakhota,\u201d this group consists of seven tribes who were known as warriors and buffalo-hunters. Sometimes called the Tetons (referring to their dialect and location west of the Dakota on the plains) the seven tribes include:Ogalala (\u201cthey scatter their own,\u201d or \u201cdust scatterers\u201d)Sicangu or Brule (\u201cBurnt Thighs\u201d)Hunkpapa (\u201cend of the circle\u201d),Miniconjou (\u201cplanters beside the stream\u201d),Sihasapa or Blackfoot (Ntote confused with the separate Blackfoot tribe)Itazipacola (or Sans Arcs: \u201cwithout bows\u201d)Oohenupa (\u201cTwo Boilings\u201d or \u201cTwo Kettle\u201d)This band was found in the upper Mississippi Region in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. There were about 20,000 Lakota in the mid 18th century, a number which has increased to about 70,000 today, of which approximately 1\/3 still speak their ancestral language.The DakotaThe Dakota Sioux, also called the Santee Sioux, originally migrated northeast into Ohio and Minnesota. The name \u201cSantee\u201d comes from camping for long periods in a place where they collected stone for making knives Woodland people, they thrived on hunting, fishing and some farming. It was from the Dakota, that the Lakota stemmed, moving further west into the great plains.There are four bands in the Dakota tribe, who primarily live in South Dakota, Minnesota, Nebraska, and North Dakota, including:MdewakantonwonWahpetonWahpekuteSissetonThe NakotaThe Nakota, also known as the Yanktonai or Yankton Sioux, split from the Dakota and moved to the prairies in the region that is now southeast South Dakota. They were divided into three bands: Yankton who are now on the Yankton Reservation in South Dakota; the Upper Yanktonai who are split between the Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota and the Devil\u2019s Lake Reservation in North Dakota; and the Lower Yanktonai who are split between the Crow Creek Reservation in South Dakota and the Fort Peck Reservation in MontanaRead more <a href=\"https:\/\/l.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.legendsofamerica.com%2Fna-sioux%2F%3Ffbclid%3DIwAR2B2My9P64P1O0CJAKeJyHWWdCTJiOr8HpRmWAh-UCHdklN6xEWLaOPeBY&amp;h=AT1x0JgQVdNkJPJYvJGr0TyWtWmIY05niMjz66H_zFSwHT2zIRzAV6BwEVKGCSCe6cXnpsbhY6eDPkiJiU5vFpf-45bZ5G186dc8SaE7TFmw1K9Q_CoITyGIEQ&amp;__tn__=-UK-R&amp;c[0]=AT29ybtMKB5vt8nmcUJF1cRh6dISbTWXOps_djJ6-VxBCquJelqMihMVVzIGP-MRJM3xFn9xWdi5KKiJ2Rr0ubaG4HamL43NmhvdIhmNyLe7Fp7ioCXbU2Z4AeNYMUOg64aDejbukAqz061-dpYy53q9pkrvbQE0-6I\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.legendsofamerica.com\/na-sioux\/<\/a>Image Sioux TipisSioux Tipis, 1902Sioux Tipis, 1902, Frank Bennett Fiske.A nomadic people, the Sioux generally moved camp about every 2-3 months. Making the job of moving easier were their animal hide teepees. Making these &#8220;homes&#8221; was the job of women who scraped, softened and stretched some 18-20 buffalo hides before carefully cutting and sewing them together. A framework of 3-4 poles tied to each other supported the teepees, arranged close together at the top with a small hole in the middle, and arranged in a big circle at the bottom. The hides were then wrapped around the pole framework. The opening at the top could be opened to let out the smoke, or closed to keep in the warmth. Another flap at the bottem served as an entrance to the inside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saadia Farah Ali September&nbsp;17,&nbsp;2020&nbsp; \u00b7 On this Earth, we have been the priests of Lemuria, Atlantis, Greece and Egypt.
