The Great Spirit gathered all of Creation and said:
"I want to hide something from the humans until
they are ready for it.
It is the realization that they create their own reality
and are every part of this existence that created it."
The Eagle said: " Give it to me, I will take it to the Moon."
The Great Spirit said:" No one day they will go there and
find it."
The Salmon said: " I will bury it on the bottom of the ocean."
"No, said the Great Spirit, they will go there too."
The Buffalo said: "I will bury it on the Great Plains."
The Great Spirit said: "They will cut into the skin of
the earth and find it even there."
Grandmother Mole, who lives in the breast of GrandMother Earth,(Unci Maka-Lakota) and who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes
said: " Put it inside of them."
And the Great Spirit said: "It Is Done!"

In 1890 John Langan was freighting for the US Army at Fort Randall when the Massacre at Wounded Knee was inflicted upon defenseless unarmed Minneconjous by the Seventh Calvary
His wagon had been assigned to the Ambulance Corps to
bring back the wounded soldiers,but when he arrived, he viewed the almost total decimation of Minneconjous, including Women & Children
He therefore withdrew his wagon from the Army and helped the few Minneconjou who remained alive to bring their dead & dying to Pine Ridge Agency
At Pine Ridge the Episcopal Mission gave them shelter Dec 29, 1890. The pews were removed and a bed of straw was made for the wounded (This Picture was the original church)
This life changing event led to John giving everything up so he could help Big foots Survivors.
