Appearances
Bows, earrings, quilled bags, teepees, the sacred pipe.
This pipe goes back 27 generations.
27 generations.
What even is that, like 800 years?
Yeah, we have that.
And there's a great story behind that, Simon.
And I'm teaching my children that.
And I don't think it'd be very wise of me to tell these stories on national radio.
But that pipe, it represents us.
But even this, even this pipe.
I don't even know.
And why?
Because, he says, if you look at the history of the Oglala Lakota tribe... You know, we don't have anything written down.
Our forefathers didn't write anything down.
And that's probably the best thing for us.
Because, he says, when he looks to the broader United States... The United States of America, the people that belong to it, sometimes I think they take the things that were written by your forefathers too literally.
And they can't adapt it into the future.
Take, for example, the Bill of Rights, he says.
Because it was written down, it's rigid.
Whereas a Lakota story, even one that's 27 generations old, Arlo can take that and adapt it to the present moment.
