Nun, als ich vier oder fünf Jahre alt war, war meine Mutter eine Großvaterin eines Zivilisten. Und sie erzählte uns im Grunde über sein Leben und über unsere Kultur. I didn't really know. She just talked about him as a grandfather. So I didn't know he was famous or anything. He was just another person that she spoke about. She didn't talk to us like we're talking to each other now.

She spoke to me in Lakota language, so it doesn't take as much talking. It was just one sentence covered a lot. In Lakota. Und sie verwendete viel Humor. Sie erzählte eine Geschichte, ein paar Sätze, und dann würde sie etwas sagen oder etwas viel sagen. Und du lachst. Ich dachte, es war eine lustige Geschichte, die sie uns erzählt hat, weil sie uns lacht.

Aber ihre Grundlage für das war, sie sagte, jedes Mal, wenn du lachst, ist es wie ein Storbutton in deinem Gehirn. Es stört Informationen. Also erinnerst du dich immer wieder in der Zukunft. Ich versuche, das selbst zu tun, indem ich Humor benutze, wenn ich versuche, mit Leuten zu sprechen. And I always tell people this, you know, when you listen to stories in a native language, it stays with you.

The Lakota people make up over 500 different nations that were in this country at the beginning before the European nation came here. And we're basically one of a nation that, we were like nomadic. We followed the buffalo. That was our source of food. We used every part of the buffalo. So, you know, it's basically the herds moved further, we followed it.

We really didn't have one area that you stayed at forever. Like some tribes, they have whole gardens and earthen huts that they built. They're permanent. With us, we just moved around. And, well, our nation consists of three. We call them the Lakota, Dakota, Nakota. And all different parts, you know, like Dakota are in Minnesota. The Nakota are down, we're down in the Iowa, Nebraska area.
