FINANCIAL SUPPORT from Lakota stone nation:

Funds collected will be used to keep these websites active, gather funds for administrative costs and travel expenses for our Traditional Chiefs and their helpers, to meet their immediate living needs while they now focus their full time and energies continually working with Chief Richard Grass on innovative, workable, and sustainable ways to preserve our unique and beautiful traditional, cultural, and spiritual ways of life and languages before these vanish as so many other Native American tribes have disappeared before us. 

Following the footsteps of my Great Grandfather, Chief John Grass, as treaty Chief for the L.D.N. Nation and dynastic Grand Chief of the General Council I have posted this web site for educational purposes as a resource of strength and pride for our people, to help broaden understanding of our nation, and to give insight into the work being prayerfully done to see that the treaties now still in force are finally honored, as I continue to work to preserve our broad land base, our unique and beautiful languages, traditional, cultural, and spiritual ways of life for our people now and to benefit all nations' future generations.

“7. Mato Watapke, Charging Bear, the first son of Used As Their Shield, is better known to white history as ‘John Grass’ – John Grass of Sioux wars and treaty fame.  To the Sioux he was known as the Sovereign who “with the Pipe held before him”, led his people along the compulsory new road white men had made with their sharp guns and cannon.

As a youth and young warrior he knew the wonder of this shining land even as he realized the blight that threatened it.  At the age of fourteen he had been taken by his father and grandfather to the Laramie Treaty of 1851 and there witnessed at first hand “the pattern of the white bother’s behavior”.  In 1864 he watched his people struck by General Sully as they peacefully hunted buffalo and he vowed he would find a way to “the stand between them and white soldiers”.  This book is an effort to show his struggle.  He was a sovereign from 1873 until his death in 1918 at the age of eighty-one."
