Lakota Origin Story by Elder Duane Hollow Horn Bear

I am a Slav. The stories of the Lakota and other tribes people resonate so deeply with my soul. Lots of similarities in our cultures from the elders. Thank you for the knowledge 🙏

This is my grandpa 🤩😍😍

I am a Hollow Horn Bear. My Grandma was Theresa Hollow Horn Bear. I am 5th generation direct descendant. Duane is Our Family Chief who carries our Family Pipe and Head Dress. Chief Hollow Horn Bear was Poisoned by the white house wen 19 Chiefs were takn there to sign the treaties in 1886. After the signing the next morning wen they woke up 11 Chiefs were dead. They claimed they died from tuberculosis. Lies, Nobody was sick. They sent My Great Great Great Grandfathers body home in a wood box with all of his belongings missing except Our Familys Head Dress. 75 years later our Family Pipe was found in a Kansas city museum. It was brought back to Us wen i was 14years old. I got to Pray and smoke with my Elders because I had to take the place of my Mom, cuz she had her Moon. Most Spiritual Power went thru my whole Being that day and forever on. I will never forget where or who i come from. I Belong. We come from a longline of Medicine people and Storytellers who take the Pain for the People ✊👑🙏❤ LILILILILILILI 💥💫💪🏽❤

Im Lakota when my grandmother died I felt my path to my heritage had been lost. I am very thankful for these videos

I close my eyes and I’m a child sitting in front of him listening this beautiful story

Thank you so much for sharing this story. I am half Lakota but I never got to grow up and experience my culture because I was adopted into a white family at a young age. Again, thanks so much🙏

As told to me by father, my great-grandfather was of the Lakota people, from a place called Rosebud or some such. His family was very poor and had not much to eat, so he became a horse thief and after a time, became a wanted man. He escaped north to Canada and headed East. After traveling for some time, he came back into the United States through Niagara and found refuge with the Tuscarora. He married an Tuscarora woman, settled down and my Grandfather was born, along with many siblings. So, thank you, Duane Hollow Horn Bear for the story. It reaches farther than perhaps you know.

I love the Lakota stories and the rhythm of their speech.

I am so thankful for this story, i hope it isnt ever forgotten like so much already is...

I am entranced by this beautiful story. I always love listening to our elders talk about the great mysteries. There’s a lesson to be learned. Beautiful.

Thank you for giving me a grandparent! My family is really messed up and this gives me the peace I was missing since childhood!

Even though I'm Dutch it's nice to hear , listen and learn from the stories that are told here. Love them

I’m excited for the tribe to finally reunite. Thank you for the extra protection and work y’all have been putting forth to keep the correct order.

Thank you for sharing these stories. I do not share your ancestry, but I will educate myself about how important the Lakota culture is. Thank you 🙏🏻

I heard this beautiful story, and this is the first time I have seen Elder Duane Hollow Horn Bear, which is a great gift! He is handsome and has an incredible voice. I am so thankful for this story, thank you!

My wife is a Chocktaw tribal member. I have been studying many different wisdoms from several different tribes including the lacota. I really see the blessings in these teachings. Thank you for sharing.🙏💜👊

Its amazing how far back the history passed down by stories of native cultures spans... I wish i could listen to these stories for hours

I am so happy I have found this… My grandmother was half Lakota…I have always been drawn to the music but never understood why…I hope one day to connect with more of my ancestors…

Such a beautiful story and told by such an entrancing man. Thank you grandfather.

Thank you my elder for your beautiful words on the Lakhota oral story, we as modern warriors for our people will keep all this information sacred and safe for all of our future generations.
