"Only to the white man was nature a "wilderness" and only to him was the land "infested" with "wild" animals and "savage" people. To us, it was tame. Earth was bountiful and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery. Not until the hairy man from the east came and with brutal frenzy heaped injustices upon us and the families we loved was it "wild" for us. When the very animals of the forest began fleeing from his approach, then it was for us that the "wild west" began." -
Luther Standing Bear,
Chief of the Oglala Sioux Tribe (1868-1939)

About Us
- Spirit People Intertribal
- Florida
- We are the voices of our ancestors, Cherokee, Mohawk, Apache, Seminole, Creek, Choctaw, Lakota, Oneida, Seneca, and more. We are their prayers made real in the present. We are the seventh generation to someone who dreamt of our existence. We are the ones who refuse to forget our relatives who fought and died for what belonged to them, for what belongs to us. We are the faces of those who walked the Trail of Tears, The Long Walk, and all other forced removals. We are the people, and we are still here.
