- The Great Peacemaker
Prophesies
- There is a prophesy that appears in writing in 1932. A long time before the European colonizers arrived (the year is unknown), Drinks Water, a Lakota "holy man", had a dream about the future. He dreamed that the animals were going "back into the earth" and that foreign beings "had woven a spider web all around the Lakotas". And he said, "When this happens, you shall live in square grey houses in a barren land, and beside those square grey houses you shall starve." He died soon after he saw this vision, and it was sorrow that killed him. It is believed that he saw the future of his people occupied by the United States and trapped in the Reservations system.[3]
