Thank You ladychoctaw for sharing this video, it should be a crime for them to dig up our sacred grounds where our people are buried… We all know what would happen if we did this in THEIR burial grounds of today?

It is terrible that they should be allowed to dig up these sacred sites They should be preserved for future generations to visit and remember. Just another example of how heartless and gutless the men in power are to let this happen.

Jim Anderson, (Red Sky) of the Mendota Dakota Mdewakanton Community discusses the importance of the sacred “Cold Water” in Pike Island (big island) Minnesota. This starts out in native language and then in English. Very Interesting.
