	Responses to War Against Exploiters of Lakota Spirituality: May 11, 1997 to October 31
		To assume that the Lakota, Dakota, Nakota people are the only people with an inherrent right or proper knowlege to stand behind the sacred pipe, conduct sweatlodges, or sundances or any other sacred ceremony is disrespectful of all the many other Amerindian nations that have similar ceremonies.

		I am writing this to the Lakota people as both a statement of intention and a declaration of my most sincere respect for what belongs to the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota and is theirs.
