RESTORING THE BROKEN SACRED HOOP:
Spiritual Renewal
Great harm results from ignoring Spiritual Renewal
When the land was taken from Native Peoples by the U.S. Government, help was promised in lieu of the land – even with the little help that was given, even less help was given to address spiritual needs.
The White Man’s gospel took away the values of Native People.
It denied the cultural things that had great value.
Spiritual Renewal restores the Broken Hoop
But the Book of Elders teaches that Spiritual Renewal is necessary to renew the Balance, Harmony, Beauty, and Peace pictured in the Sacred Hoop.
Lakota Culture 116
Any attempt to find healing will fall short if it begins simply in the physical or intellectual realm. Lakota Elder Larry Salway encourages the one who seeks restoration to begin with Spiritual Renewal.
Larry Salway grew up on the Rosebud Reservation in southwestern South Dakota. He rose out of the poverty of his childhood and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and later, a professor at the Oglala Lakota College campuses in Kyle and Rapid City, SD. He served for five years as Tribal Judge in Pine Ridge, SD. Mr. Salway has also served as pastor of churches in Arizona and South Dakota. Larry is Co-President of Life Initiatives.
