There was an esteemed Lakota elder[00:00:34]

A man of visions who laid dying at his home[00:00:37]

Surrounded by his family and friends[00:00:41]

His journey on this earth was fast coming to an end[00:00:44]

One by one they touched his hands stroked his silver hair[00:00:49]

Sang him songs and kissed him on his brow[00:00:55]

His mind wandered between this world and the unseen[00:01:00]

Some thought it was the fever talking[00:01:05]

But his sister knowing his gift of visions[00:01:08]

Summoned the Medicine man to come and pray for his comfort[00:01:10]

And to listen to his words[00:01:15]

When he arrived the elder asked the Holy Man to bring him his pipe[00:01:18]

A family member handed the Medicine Man his pipe[00:01:24]

And he granted the dying man's request[00:01:27]

When he placed it in his arms he closed his eyes[00:01:30]

And softly whispered[00:01:35]

"Twenty years from this day I see blood and countless tears[00:01:39]

Flowing across the ground of Wounded Knee[00:01:44]

It is not clear to me why so many people will die[00:01:48]

Not only our warriors but our women our children [00:01:51]

The young and the old even the four leggeds[00:01:56]

They too will be murdered[00:02:00]

All will be buried as one in an icy cold grave[00:02:04]

There will be no punishment to the murders of our people[00:02:08]

Only the dreams they see at night will be their torture[00:02:13]

And their sentence of shame[00:02:17]

This is my vision[00:02:20]

My time has now come and I have but one final request[00:02:24]

When I draw my last breath[00:02:30]

Take me to Wounded Knee and bury me there[00:02:33]

For it is there that I wish for my spirit to linger[00:02:37]

Long enough to warn the others of this great tragedy that[00:02:41]

Our future holds "[00:02:45]
