The Wakinyan Oyate (Thunderbeings) are a free people who live according to four virtues: courage, strength, generosity, and integrity. In the old days, these virtues were required of everyone. Thus the people remained strong and lived in harmony. Only when everyone was doing well could an individual be well, so sharing was highly emphasized. When a hunt was successful, everyone was provided with food. The hunters shared the meat with everyone. How generous are you? Is it easy for you to give something away? True generosity knows no bounds. The truly generous person gives away what is most difficult for him to part with. In sharing sincerely, you will learn something important: letting go. You learn how to detach yourself from your possessions and the status or self-worth you derive from them. If today is the day of Wakinyan Oyate then give something away you’re attached to. The more often you do this, the easier it will become and the richer you’ll feel.
Mitakye oyasin.
REMINDER: NO DRUGS of any kind on site - avoid consumption of hapey snuff, cannabis, alcohol, mushrooms, etc on the day of the sweat. Remember that the sweat is a medicine on its own!
