Tracy, Late Sunday night... but here is the text from a Press Release going out soon. I will add some extra pictures... Richard Henry Red Cloud and the Treaty Pipe Henry Red Cloud is the Democratic Party's candidate for the Public Utilities Commission and he has a very long history in South Dakota. He is a fifth generation direct descendant of Chief Red Cloud (Mahpiya Luta), the great Lakota leader and military genius who was one of the most well known and photographed Native Americans in history. It was Chief Red Cloud who signed the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 which ended the Red Cloud War. In each culture, such formal decisions are sanctified in different ways. For the Lakota, it involves the smoking of a pipe together. This last weekend, the pipe Red Cloud smoked at that historic 1868 Peace Treaty meeting was brought out to the Sacred Stone Camp at Standing Rock by Wendell Yellow Bull Jr., the ninth Keeper of Mahpiya Luta's pipe in a procession that was led by Henry Red Cloud, who also brought it into the Council Tipi where high level discussions went on among the assembled Lakota headsmen. Following the ceremony and discussions, Henry spoke on behalf of Mahpiya Luta to the many hundreds of people who had gathered near the Council Tipi. He spoke about the need for unity to protect Mother Earth, but also the necessity of always acting in a peaceful non-violent manner. He also talked about the need to take political action, which includes voting in the upcoming election. He emphatically made his point - You can't change the past, but we can change the future! Afterwards, Henry talked specifically about his PUC candidacy: "The Public Utilities Commission has been approving pipelines without much concern for South Dakota's farmers, ranchers, tribes and us regular citizens. The Dakota Access Pipeline should have never been approved." The PUC approves or disapproves many aspects relating to the permitting of pipelines among its energy related duties. The head of the PUC, Chris Nelson, led the effort to get the Dakota Access Pipeline approved despite much negative testimony and many objections. "The PUC doesn't press the oil companies for Environmental Impact Statements and doesn't even require them to show what liability insurance they have. Other states get the oil and they leave the rest of us with fouled water, destroyed farms and all the headaches that come with a spill. I am not sure who my opponent Chris Nelson is working for, but he sure isn't looking out for the interests of the people of South Dakota!" Henry wants to see a significant investment in renewable energy infrastructure and education. He knows that South Dakota has huge solar and wind resources and could become the renewable energy state if there was a major investment in teaching people about solar and wind power and how to install and maintain the equipment. Henry states: "Many of the current oil workers could find much better, healthier jobs in this newer, safer, energy approach and we need to provide them with the necessary training and transition help." Henry has a long history in working with and teaching about renewable energy including running his business, Lakota Solar Enterprises and co-managing the Red Cloud Renewable Energy Center. "I have trained many of our youth and veterans, both men and women, about renewable energy and how to live a more sustainable life. In learning to work with the sun and wind, we find a good path forward and a healthier one too that is a new way that honors the old way."

Our ceremonies are about the universe The Silent Revolution of the 7th generation

Indian tradition and modernity Author: Henry Red Cloud Category: Shamanism Issue No. 68 The Lakota are the second-largest Indian tribe in the United States. After over one hundred years of oppression, the people in the reserve now live in great poverty. Henry Red Cloud is a descendant of the legendary Chief Red Cloud, who defeated the US government. Henry founded the first Indian solar companies and maintain the old way of Lakota with the original language, the songs, and ceremonies. He thus combines tradition and modernity and is a Lakota warrior of the 21st century. Tattva Viveka: What is the present situation of the Lakota in America, in the Pine Ridge Reservation? Red Cloud: You could say that we Lakota fighting for 500 years against "terrorists" who invade our country. These terrorists are now so powerful that they simply were able to resettle in concentration camps. Since 1880, my ancestors live mainly in the camps. They are called reserves, but you should look carefully there. I come for example from the concentration camp number 344th Henry Red Cloud with Bill Clinton Henry Red Cloud with Bill Clinton at the "Clinton Global Initiative". In 1868 there was an important contract between Lakota Indians and the US government. It said that the current Indian land should remain Indian country. These contracts were but broken. The Holy Land of the Black Hills, Paha Sapa was taken from us. The government wanted it because of gold. The chiefs of that time, such as Crazy Horse (Tȟašúŋke Witco) and Sitting Bull (Tȟatȟáŋka Iyotake) fought in the Red Clouds War. Here we were concerned with the closure of the Bozeman Trail, a path through Lakota territory, the took the prospectors and militarily secured. At that time, then the first concentration camps / "reserves" were established. They told us we can not speak our language, do not dance, do not make more ceremonies. The Lakota not live near New York, Florida or Los Angeles. They sent us in the Northern Plains, in areas that were very hot, with a lot of sun and wind, there does not grow much. This means it to be a Lakota warrior in the 21st century: to help each other. (...) In 1978 we were officially allowed again, perform ceremonies and to speak our language. Unfortunately, there are many tribes, like the Iroquois, Mohawk, Semiahmoo who have forgotten their language, ceremonies, and dances. They were assimilated into American culture and lost their way. The Lakota were able to preserve their traditions. We share our language, dances, our prayers with all today. Chiefs "Young" Sitting Bull of the Oglalas (not the more famous Hunkpapa same name), Red Cloud, Swift Bear and Spotted Tail in Omaha, Nebraska, on the way to Washington DC to meet with President Ulysses S. Grant to discuss the Black Hills negotiate (Mai 1875). Since 1880, however, there is no proper infrastructure, no economy and no longer work for us. Since 2000 I am trying to figure out how we can change our situation by example build up its own economy. I looked at the situation closely and saw that nothing happens by itself. The government will not help us. On the contrary, they sabotage us and incite the different tribes with rumors against each other. Basically, the government concern, which was the Indians again do together as in the Battle of 1876. At that time, the government defeated by the Lakota, Dakota, Nakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho. Since then, we get nothing from the government: If the Indians but kill each other! CEREMONIES WHAT IS SPIRITUALITY FOR YOU?

http://www.tattva.de/lakota-der-weg-des-guten-lebens/ Indianische Tradition und Moderne Autor: Henry Red Cloud Kategorie: Schamanismus Ausgabe Nr: 68 Die Lakota sind der zweitgrößte Indianerstamm in den USA. Nach über hundert Jahren der Unterdrückung leben die Menschen im Reservat heute in großer Armut. Henry Red Cloud ist Nachfahre des legendären Chief Red Cloud, der die US-Regierung bezwang. Henry gründete das erste indianische Solar-Unternehmen und pflegt den alten Weg der Lakota mit der ursprünglichen Sprache, den Liedern und den Zeremonien. Er verbindet damit Tradition und Moderne und wird zu einem Lakota-Krieger des 21. Jahrhunderts. Tattva Viveka: Wie ist derzeit die Situation der Lakota in Amerika, in der Pine Ridge Reservation? Red Cloud: Man könnte sagen, dass wir Lakota seit 500 Jahren gegen »Terroristen« kämpfen, die in unser Land eindringen. Diese Terroristen sind mittlerweile so mächtig, dass sie uns einfach in Konzentrationslager umsiedeln konnten. Seit 1880 leben meine Vorfahren hauptsächlich in den Lagern. Man nennt sie Reservate, aber man sollte da genau hinschauen. Ich komme zum Beispiel aus dem Konzentrationslager Nummer 344. Henry Red Cloud mit Bill Clinton Henry Red Cloud mit Bill Clinton anlässlich der »Clinton Global Initiative«. Im Jahr 1868 gab es einen wichtigen Vertrag zwischen Lakota-Indianern und der US Regierung. Darin stand, dass das bisherige Indianerland auch Indianerland bleiben sollte. Diese Verträge wurden aber gebrochen. Das heilige Land der Black Hills, pahá sápa, wurde uns genommen. Die Regierung wollte es wegen des Goldes. Die Häuptlinge aus dieser Zeit, wie z.B. Crazy Horse (Tȟašúŋke Witkó) und Sitting Bull (Tȟatȟáŋka Íyotake) kämpften im Red Clouds War. Dabei ging es uns um die Schließung des Bozeman Trails, einen Pfad durch Lakota-Gebiet, den die Goldsucher nutzten und militärisch sicherten. Damals wurden dann die ersten Konzentrationslager/»Reservate« eingerichtet. Sie sagten uns, wir dürfen unsere Sprache nicht mehr sprechen, nicht mehr tanzen, keine Zeremonien mehr machen. Die Lakota leben nicht in der Nähe von New York, Florida oder Los Angeles. Sie schickten uns in die Northern Plains, in Gebiete, die sehr heiß waren, mit sehr viel Sonne und Wind, dort wächst nicht viel. Das bedeutet es im 21. Jahrhundert ein Lakota-Krieger zu sein: einander zu helfen. (…) Erst 1978 wurde uns offiziell wieder erlaubt, Zeremonien abzuhalten und unsere Sprache zu sprechen. Leider gibt es viele Stämme, wie die Iroquai, Mohawk, Semiahmoo, die ihre Sprache, Zeremonien und Tänze vergessen haben. Sie wurden in die amerikanische Kultur assimiliert und verloren ihren Weg. Die Lakota waren in der Lage, ihre Traditionen zu bewahren. Wir teilen unsere Sprache, Tänze, unsere Gebete heute mit allen. Chiefs »Young« Sitting Bull of the Oglallas (nicht der berühmtere Hunkpapa gleichen Namens), Red Cloud, Swift Bear und Spotted Tail in Omaha, Nebraska, auf dem Weg nach Washington DC zu einem Treffen mit Präsident Ulysses S. Grant um über die Black Hills zu verhandeln (Mai 1875). Seit 1880 gibt es jedoch keine richtige Infrastruktur, keine Ökonomie und keine Arbeit mehr für uns. Seit dem Jahr 2000 versuche ich herauszufinden, wie wir unsere Situation ändern können, indem wir z.B. eine eigene Ökonomie aufbauen. Ich schaute mir die Lage genau an und sah, dass nichts von alleine geschieht. Die Regierung wird uns nicht helfen. Im Gegenteil, sie sabotieren uns und hetzen die verschiedenen Stämme mit Gerüchten gegeneinander auf. Im Grunde hat die Regierung Sorge, das sich die Indianer nochmal zusammen tun wie in der Schlacht von 1876. Damals wurde die Regierung von den Lakota, Dakota, Nakota, Cheyenne und Arrapaho besiegt. Seitdem bekommen wir nichts mehr von der Regierung: Sollen sich die Indianer doch gegenseitig umbringen! ZEREMONIEN WAS BEDEUTET SPIRITUALITÄT FÜR DICH? Henry Red Cloud auf Deutschlandtour Veranstaltung in Dörzbach anläßlich Red Clouds Deutschlandtour 2016. Unsere Zeremonien handeln vom Universum, der Sonne, dem Himmel, dem Wind, dem Wasser, von allem Natürlichen. Jemand, der unsere Zeremonien ausführen will, muss mit uns für Jahre leben, nicht nur für einen Urlaub. Man muss die Sprache verstehen und sprechen. Wenn du die Sprache sprichst, arbeitet dein Geist anders! Mein Buch musst du mit deinem Herzen lesen und unsere Lebensweise genau kennen. Liest du es nur mit deinem Verstand, wirst du verrückt. Wir erlauben nicht, die Lakota-Schwitzhütte zu machen, wenn jemand nicht von uns gelernt hat. Kommt zu uns, lernt von uns. Wir geben es gerne weiter.
