00:00Once you start beating the drum and start singing, it brings out the positive.
00:17It almost takes the weaknesses out of a human being.
00:21What we're pleading with is the Christ, the God, to bless the spedum, to bless this drum,
00:28to bless the singers and the people, so they'll all be well.
00:33The people who live in good health.
00:37Who are we? Are we Lakota? Are we indigenous people?
00:41Or are we just existing as Americans?
00:45I live over here and speak my language to my family and do my ceremonies.
00:49Then I got to come back over here and try to educate the white people and speak their language
00:54and get inside their mind and let them inside of my mind.
00:57Then I'll go home and get back over here in my world with my people.
01:01So we live in two worlds and living in one world is hard enough.
01:06So when you're Lakota and you live in two worlds, it's twice as hard.
01:10So we got to find a balance right in between and make sure we don't forget this side,
01:17but make sure we can live over here and survive in today's world.
