Joe, Have you read _Honta Yo_?


you mean Hanta Yo

Hanta Yo is a Lakota Souix term that means "clear the way". No I
haven't read it.

One of my favorite adapted Souix quotes.

Whenever, the course of a daily sail, the sailor comes upon a scene
that is strikingly beautiful, or sublime; a black thundercloud with the
rainbow's glowing arch above the horizon, a white waterfall in the
heart of a green gorge, a vast ocean tinged with the blood-red of the
sunset; he pauses for an instant in the attitude of worship. He sees no
need for setting apart one day in seven as a holy day, because to him
all the days are God's days.
