A summary of the 1851 and 1868 treaties
The Great Sioux Nation, whose real name is the Oceti Sakowin, is comprised of seven sub-nations who spoke the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota language. The Tituwan sub-nation spoke the Lakota dialect and lived in the western most portion. The Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation) occupied a vast land area that covered 24 American states and parts of 4 Canadian Provinces. Other smaller nations also lived within the area as the Indigenous concept of territory followed natural law and was much different than the European concept of territory. The people of the Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation) originated from the mouth of Wind Cave in the Black Hills. The Black Hills were so sacred that they were used for ceremonial, prayers, medicinal, and burial purposes only.

Hello Everyone,
“Let the Spirit lead.” That was the saying that guided Tony Black Feather, Garfield Grass Rope, and me with our International work since the beginning. Now, it is ironic that in these last days of Unci Ina Makoce, the United Nations is finally paying attention. Two of our reports are on the websites of two (2) of their more important committees after forty years: the Advisory Committee to the Human Rights Council (ACHRC), and the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD).

Hello Everyone,
Just a small report and a copy of a Press Release and Declaration that were recently sent out. As I said before, if you want to be included on Zoom meetings, that is an easy way through a computer or smart phone, then send me you email address. I barely learned about Zoom meetings last summer, and they are really easy. If you don’t have a computer, let me know. We’ll try to figure something out. Otherwise, I’ll try to keep you updated through these newsletters. Please share these as you wish.
After nearly forty (40) years of going to the United Nations (UN), and learning all the ways of this exclusive club, finally there is a small light of freedom at the end of the tunnel. Unfortunately, this is the only way, currently, to get out from under the oppression of the United States (US) and the suppression of our Treaty, the Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868.

"...CONCLUSION Various historians has determined that the "Sioux Nation Treaty Council" formally formed in 1894, shortly after the Wounded Knee massacre. The Sioux Nation Treaty Council represents all of the Sioux Tribes (Approx 49 Tribes), and all other Sioux Treaty Councils would be subordinate to it, regardless of the Treaty Council's name...."
