With us is Sidney Has No Horses. > He's a medicine man from Oglala and Mr. Chairman he has a message that > he is (taking) to all the tribes, all the tribes, all the reservations, > which came out of a ceremony - and I feel it's a good message. I visited > Mr. Has No Horses and so at this time, I'd like to get the floor for > him. > Sidney Has No Horses: > Mitakuye Oyasin. All my relatives. > I'd like to get in the middle if I could, I really don't like to use the > mic. > My name is Sidney Has No Horses. I'm from the Pine Ridge Indian > Reservation. > You probably know my father, his name was Dawson Has No Horses. He was a > Yuwipi man, a powerful medicine man. My grandfather's name is Frank > Fools Crow. He was also a powerful medicine man. > Six months ago, we had a ceremony. In this ceremony, two angels came to > me and they talked to me and they told us of the devastation that would > happen to the islands and the Indian Ocean. They told us of the > earthquakes that would hit Japan. They told us of the tsunami that wiped > out all the people and they told us of the hurricanes that came to > Florida, the one that came to New Orleans, and the one that went to > Texas. > There's one more hurricane coming to wipe out another city. > Two weeks ago, we had a ceremony, Sitting Bull, he came in and he talked > to me. Crazy Horse, he talks to me. Chief Big Foot talked to me. And > they asked me to go to the seven council fires and to the council people > and to warn all of these fires, within six months there's going be a > tidal wave that's going to wipe out Los Angeles. Within six months, > there's going to be an eruption in the northwest with the volcanoes. > They say from the eruptions of these volcanoes, the ash that is coming, > the Missouri River will be destroyed. They say the water that we drink > from the ground is going to be no longer drinkable. > These hardships are coming because God is bringing this. Whether you > believe in Christianity, Native American Church, or the Traditional way, > if you read the Bible, we're going into the fourth seal. There's > diseases coming that are going to wipe out our children and like this > man said here, methamphetamine on our rez is very bad too. If we don't > stop that, it's going to destroy the next generation. Many vegetables > are going to be born into our tribes. > When I'm done here, I'm going to Standing Rock and I'm going to stand in > front of them, their council and tell them the same thing I am telling > you now. This winter is going to be very cold for a long time. Ranchers > are going to lose their horses and cows because it ain't going to warm > up. The price of propane is going to skyrocket and sometimes they're not > going to be able to deliver the propane to our families. > This food issue in the Bible, it says one day there be no food on the > store shelves. If you look at the hurricanes, in a lot of the stores > there's not food on the shelves. These people lost their homes. They > can't drink that water . . . and so I come because of the mighty chiefs > that talked to me and because of who I am. They tell me, I need to warn > the tribes. > Today I came here without announcement, but to see you all gathered like > this. I know God is on my side to see you gathered. > The Sisseton-Wahpeton tomorrow will be gathered at 10 o'clock and they > will hear what I have to say. > The Flandreau people are going to be waiting for me tomorrow evening. > I'm going up to Ft. Yates here, I'm going to talk to them even if it's > after hours and so I thank you very much for letting me come in and I'm > thankful that I got all of you together at the same time. > I offer you all a handshake. My name is Sidney Has No Horses. I am from > Batesland, South Dakota. > You might want to write this down. My phone number is 605-###−@@@@. We > incorporated ourselves through the state of South Dakota to let you know > that we are serious. > Within six months, we are going to be living in a hell of a world and > these chiefs have talked to me, me and my cousins. > If you ever want a ceremony, you get ahold of us and we will bring you a > ceremony to let you believe. > But the chiefs tell me, some of you have good hearts. Some of you have > good minds. Some of you have spirituality. You are the people that will > take heed on the word that I bring, and there's a lot of people that > didn't believe us when everything we told them has happened and my > President, Cecelia Fire Thunder, I talked to her yesterday and she > supports because everything I told her would happen to our tribe has > happened. > The power of God, he knows what he's bringing to us and in three years, > as the keepers of Mother Earth, if the seven Fires do not come together, > there's going to be a meteorite that will be coming and it's going to > hit off of San Francisco and they told us that Seven Council Fires, > these Seven Fires never had hate and jealousy toward each other. > I've been trying to get the medicine men of Oglala to come in unity, but > they can't and now God asked me to come and get all the Tribal Councils > together and all the tribes together. That's a very hard job that he has > given me. I'm very nervous as I stand here in front of you, but I tried > to look you all I the eye to let you know that I'm for real and so at > this time, these are foods for thought, things you can think about in > the next six months and this is coming to us. > It's very hard for me to say this, but I thank you for the little time > you have given me. I thank you. Now I'm going to Standing Rock. I will > be going to every reservation. Maybe the tribal members will get > together and at least the tribal presidents will have a ceremony for all > you to hear and believe in God. > All my relatives. Mitakuye Oyasin. You have my phone number and so if > any questions, please contact me. > This meeting was held in Eagle Butte on October 4, 2005 at their regular > October session and was signed by Winona Charger Assistant Tribal > Secretary
